Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees to make Revolving Credit Loans in either Dollars or one or more Optional Currencies to the Borrower at any time or from time to time on or after the date hereof to the Expiration Date; provided that after giving effect to each such Loan (i) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of Revolving Credit Loans from such Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment minus such Lender’s Ratable Share of the Letter of Credit Obligations and outstanding Swing Loans, (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders, (iii) no Revolving Credit Loan to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be made in an Optional Currency, and (iv) the aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans made in an Optional Currency (each an “Optional Currency Loan”) shall not exceed $75,000,000 (the “Optional Currency Sublimit”). Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1.

2.1.2 Swing Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, and in order to facilitate loans and repayments between Settlement Dates, PNC may, at its option, cancelable at any time for any reason whatsoever, make swing loans in Dollars (the “Swing Loans”) to the Borrower at any time or from time to time after the date hereof to, but not including, the Expiration Date, in an aggregate principal amount up to but not in excess of $20,000,000, provided that after giving effect to such Loan, the Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders. Within such limits of time and amount and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow pursuant to this Section 2.1.2.

2.1.3 Restatement of Commitments. This Agreement amends and restates the Existing Credit Agreement. The commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement replace the commitments of the lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement. From and after the Closing Date, the commitments of the lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement no longer constitute a separate obligation of such lenders, and the Borrower hereby terminates commitments of lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement which are not parties to this Agreement.

2.2 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans. Each Lender shall be obligated to participate in each request for Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests] in accordance with its Ratable Share. The aggregate Dollar Equivalent of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Loans outstanding hereunder to the Borrower at any time shall never exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of the outstanding Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations. The obligations of each Lender hereunder are several. The failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrower to any other party nor shall any other party be liable for the failure of such Lender to perform its obligations hereunder. The Lenders shall have no obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans hereunder on or after the Expiration Date.

2.3 Commitment Fees. Accruing from the date hereof until the Expiration Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender according to its Ratable Share, a nonrefundable commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) equal to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) multiplied by the average daily difference between the amount of (i) the Revolving Credit Commitments and (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage (provided however, that solely in connection with determining the share of each Lender in the Commitment Fee, the Revolving Facility Usage with respect to the portion of the Commitment Fee allocated to PNC shall include the full amount of the outstanding Swing Loans, and with respect to the portion of the Commitment Fee allocated by the Administrative Agent to all of the Lenders other than PNC, such portion of the Commitment Fee shall be calculated (according to each such Lender’s Ratable Share) as if the Revolving Facility Usage excludes the outstanding Swing Loans); provided, further, that any Commitment Fee accrued with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such Commitment Fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no Commitment Fee shall accrue with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. Subject to the proviso in the directly preceding sentence, all Commitment Fees shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date.

The Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be recomputed as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date by dividing the Revolving Facility Usage by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders as of such quarter end. Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate computed as of a quarter end shall be effective on the date on which the Compliance Certificate evidencing such computation is due to be delivered under Section 8.3.3 [Certificate of Borrower]. If a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with such Section 8.3.3, then the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate shall be 0.35% as of the first Business Day after the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered and shall remain in effect until the date on which such Compliance Certificate is delivered.

2.4 Termination or Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right, upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments or, from time to time, to reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments (ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their Ratable Shares); provided that no such termination or reduction of Revolving Credit Commitments shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any prepayments of the Revolving Credit Loans made on the effective date thereof, the Revolving Facility Usage would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders. Any such reduction shall be in an amount equal to $1,000,000, or a whole multiple thereof, and shall reduce permanently the Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect. Any such reduction or termination shall be accompanied by prepayment of the Notes, together with outstanding

Commitment Fees, and the full amount of interest accrued on the principal sum to be prepaid (and all amounts referred to in Section 5.10 [Indemnity] hereof) to the extent necessary to cause the aggregate Revolving Facility Usage after giving effect to such prepayments to be equal to or less than the Revolving Credit Commitments as so reduced or terminated. Any notice to reduce the Revolving Credit Commitments under this Section 2.4 shall be irrevocable.

2.5 Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests.

2.6.1 Making Revolving Credit Loans. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receipt by it of a Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests], notify the Lenders of its receipt of such Loan Request specifying the information provided by the Borrower, including the currency in which the Revolving Credit Loan is requested, and the apportionment among the Lenders of the requested Revolving Credit Loans as determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.2 [Nature of Lenders’ Obligations with Respect to Revolving Credit Loans]. Each Lender shall remit the principal amount of each Revolving Credit Loan in the requested Optional Currency (or in Dollars if so requested by the Administrative Agent) to the Administrative Agent such that the Administrative Agent is able to, and the Administrative Agent shall, to the extent the Lenders have made funds available to it for such purpose and subject to Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit], fund such Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars or the requested Optional Currency (as applicable) and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m., on the applicable Borrowing Date; provided that if any Lender fails to remit such funds to the Administrative Agent (or fails to remit such funds in the applicable Optional Currency) in a timely manner, the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to fund with its own funds, including funds in the requested Optional Currency, the Revolving Credit Loans of such Lender on such Borrowing Date, and such Lender shall be subject to the repayment obligation in Section 2.6.2 [Presumptions by the Administrative Agent].

2.6.2 Presumptions by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed time of any Loan that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.6.1 [Making Revolving Credit Loans] and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Loan available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Loans under the Base Rate Option. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Loan to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan. Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

2.6.3 Making Swing Loans. So long as PNC elects to make Swing Loans, PNC shall, after receipt by it of a Swing Loan Request pursuant to Section 2.5.2, [Swing Loan Requests] fund such Swing Loan to the Borrower in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at the Principal Office prior to 2:00 p.m. on the Borrowing Date.

2.6.4 Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall repay the Revolving Credit Loans together with all outstanding interest thereon on the Expiration Date.

2.6.5 Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans. PNC may, at its option, exercisable at any time for any reason whatsoever, demand repayment of the Swing Loans, and each Lender shall make a Revolving Credit Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Swing Loans, plus, if PNC so requests, accrued interest thereon, provided that no Lender shall be obligated in any event to make Revolving Credit Loans in excess of its Revolving Credit Commitment minus its Ratable Share of Letter of Credit Obligations. Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall bear interest at the Base Rate Option and shall be deemed to have been properly requested in accordance with Section 2.5.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] without regard to any of the requirements of that provision. PNC shall provide notice to the Lenders (which may be telephonic or written notice by letter, facsimile or telex) that such Revolving Credit Loans are to be made under this Section 2.6.5 and of the apportionment among the Lenders, and the Lenders shall be unconditionally obligated to fund such Revolving Credit Loans (whether or not the conditions specified in Section 2.5.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests] are then satisfied) by the time PNC so requests, which shall not be earlier than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day next after the date the Lenders receive such notice from PNC.

The Obligation of the Borrower to repay the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans made to it by each Lender, together with interest thereon, shall be evidenced by a revolving credit Note and a swing Note, dated the Closing Date payable to the order of such Lender in a face amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment or Swing Loan Commitment, as applicable, of such Lender.

2.8 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used (i) to refinance Indebtedness of the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement, (ii) to provide working capital to the Borrower, (iii) for Capital Expenditures and financing for Permitted Acquisitions, and (iv) for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as permitted by the terms of this Agreement, including transaction costs and expenses, and dividends and distributions permitted by Section 8.2.5 [Restricted Payments] of this Agreement.

2.9 Letter of Credit Subfacility.

2.9.1 Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower or any Loan Party may at any time prior to the Expiration Date request the issuance of a letter of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”), which may be denominated in either Dollars or an Optional Currency, for its own account or the account of another Loan Party or on behalf of the Borrower and either an Excluded Subsidiary or a Subsidiary of the Borrower which is not a Loan Party (in which case the Borrower and such Excluded Subsidiary or Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be co-applicants with respect to such Letter of Credit), or the amendment or extension of an existing Letter of Credit, by delivering or transmitting electronically, or having such other Loan Party deliver or transmit electronically to an Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a completed application for letter of credit, or request for such amendment or extension, as applicable, in such form as such Issuing Lender may specify from time to time by no later than 10:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by such Issuing Lender, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. The Borrower or any Loan Party shall authorize and direct such Issuing Lender to name the Borrower or any Loan Party or any Excluded Subsidiary or Subsidiary, as applicable, as the “Applicant” or “Account Party” of each Letter of Credit. Promptly after receipt of any letter of credit application, such Issuing Lender shall confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit application and if not, such Issuing Lender will provide the Administrative Agent with a copy thereof. All letters of credit which are identified on Schedule 2.9.1 hereto, which shall consist of all letters of credit outstanding on the Closing Date, shall be deemed to have been issued under this Agreement and shall constitute Letters of Credit, regardless of which Person is the applicant thereunder.

2.9.1.1 Unless such Issuing Lender has received notice from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at least one day prior to the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension of the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions in Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] is not satisfied, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in reliance on the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section 2.9, the Issuing Lender or any of such Issuing

Lender’s Affiliates will issue the proposed Letter of Credit or agree to such amendment or extension, provided that each Letter of Credit shall (A) have a maximum maturity of twelve (12) months from the date of issuance (but may include a provision for the automatic extension of the Letter of Credit absent notice by such Issuing Lender to the beneficiary), and (B) in no event expire later than 364 days after the Expiration Date and provided further that in no event shall (i) the Letter of Credit Obligations exceed, at any one time, $75,000,000 (the “Letter of Credit Sublimit”) or (ii) the Revolving Facility Usage exceed, at any one time, the Revolving Credit Commitments. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance, amendment or extension of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that it shall be in compliance with the preceding sentence and with Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] after giving effect to the requested issuance, amendment or extension of such Letter of Credit. Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable Issuing Lender will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

2.9.1.2 Notwithstanding Section 2.9.1.1, the Issuing Lenders shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any Official Body or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Lender from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Official Body with jurisdiction over such Issuing Lender shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Lender in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it, or (ii) the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally.

2.9.2 Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay in Dollars (i) to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) equal to the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate on the daily Dollar Equivalent amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit, and (ii) to each Issuing Lender for its own account a fronting fee which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon by the Borrower and such Issuing Bank. All Letter of Credit Fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Payment Date following issuance of each Letter of Credit and on the Expiration Date. The Borrower shall also pay (in Dollars) to each Issuing Lender for such Issuing Lender’s sole account such Issuing Lender’s then in effect customary fees and administrative expenses payable with respect to the Letters of Credit as such Issuing Lender may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection with the issuance, maintenance, amendment (if any), assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation, and administration of Letters of Credit.

2.9.3 Disbursements, Reimbursement. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally

agrees to, purchase from such Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit and each drawing thereunder in a Dollar Equivalent amount equal to such Lender’s Ratable Share of the maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit and the amount of such drawing, respectively.

2.9.3.1 In the event of any request for a drawing under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary or transferee thereof, such Issuing Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Provided that it shall have received such notice, the Borrower shall reimburse (such obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lender shall sometimes be referred to as a “Reimbursement Obligation”) such Issuing Lender prior to 12:00 noon on each date that an amount is paid by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit (each such date, a “Drawing Date”) by paying to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender an amount equal to the amount so paid by such Issuing Lender, in the same currency as paid, unless otherwise required by the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender, or unless such currency is an Unavailable Currency, in which case the Borrower shall pay the Dollar Equivalent amount of the amount paid by such Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, with respect to the China JV Letter of Credit, and subject to the approval of the Issuing Lender thereof, Borrower may repay, in Dollars, the Dollar Equivalent Amount paid by such Issuing Lender under the China JV Letter of Credit. In the event the Borrower fails to reimburse such Issuing Lender (through the Administrative Agent) for the full amount of any drawing under any Letter of Credit by 12:00 noon on the Drawing Date, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested that Revolving Credit Loans be made in a Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Reimbursement Obligations by the Lenders under the Base Rate Option to be disbursed on the Drawing Date under such Letter of Credit, subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements. Any notice given by the Administrative Agent or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.9.3.1 may be oral if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

2.9.3.2 Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.9.3.1 make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender an amount in Dollars in immediately available funds equal to its Ratable Share of the Dollar Equivalent amount of the drawing, whereupon the participating Lenders shall (subject to Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements; Reimbursement]) each be deemed to have made a Revolving Credit Loan in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in that amount. If any Lender so notified fails to make available in Dollars to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such amount by no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Drawing Date, then interest shall accrue on such Lender’s obligation to make such payment, from the Drawing Date to the date on which such Lender makes such payment (i) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate during the first three (3) days following the Drawing Date and (ii) at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option on and after the fourth day following the Drawing Date. The Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender will promptly give notice (as described in Section 2.9.3.1 above) of the occurrence of the Drawing Date, but failure of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender to give any such notice on the Drawing Date or in sufficient time to enable any Lender to effect such payment on such date shall not relieve such Lender from its obligation under this Section 2.9.3.2.

2.9.3.3 With respect to any unreimbursed drawing that is not converted into Revolving Credit Loans in Dollars under the Base Rate Option to the Borrower in whole or in part as contemplated by Section 2.9.3.1, because of the Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 [Each Loan or Letter of Credit] other than any notice requirements, or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from such Issuing Lender a borrowing (each a “Letter of Credit Borrowing”) in Dollars in the amount of such drawing. Such Letter of Credit Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option. Each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement] shall be deemed to be a payment in respect of its participation in such Letter of Credit Borrowing (each a “Participation Advance”) from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section 2.9.3.

2.9.4 Repayment of Participation Advances.

2.9.4.1 Upon (and only upon) receipt by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender of immediately available funds from the Borrower (i) in reimbursement of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under the Letter of Credit with respect to which any Lender has made a Participation Advance to the Administrative Agent, or (ii) in payment of interest on such a payment made by such Issuing Lender under such a Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Issuing Lender will pay to each Lender, in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent, the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of such funds, except the Administrative Agent shall retain for the account of such Issuing Lender the amount of the Ratable Share of such funds of any Lender that did not make a Participation Advance in respect of such payment by such Issuing Lender.

2.9.4.2 If the Administrative Agent is required at any time to return to any Loan Party, or to a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or any official in any Insolvency Proceeding, any portion of any payment made by any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section in reimbursement of a payment made under any Letter of Credit or interest or fees thereon, each Lender shall, on demand of the Administrative Agent, forthwith return to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Lender the amount of its Ratable Share of any amounts so returned by the Administrative Agent plus interest thereon from the date such demand is made to the date such amounts are returned by such Lender to the Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, for any payment in an Optional Currency, the Overnight Rate) in effect from time to time.

2.9.5 Documentation. Each Loan Party agrees to be bound by the terms of such Issuing Lender’s application and agreement for letters of credit and such Issuing Lender’s written regulations and customary practices relating to letters of credit, though such interpretation may be different from such Loan Party’s own. In the event of a conflict between such application or agreement and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern. It is understood and agreed that,

except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct, such Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any error, negligence and/or mistakes, whether of omission or commission, in following any Loan Party’s instructions or those contained in the Letters of Credit or any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto.

2.9.6 Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests. In determining whether to honor any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, such Issuing Lender shall be responsible only to determine that the documents and certificates required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit have been delivered and that they comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit.

2.9.7 Nature of Participation and Reimbursement Obligations. Each Lender’s obligation in accordance with this Agreement to make the Revolving Credit Loans or Participation Advances, as contemplated by Section 2.9.3 [Disbursements, Reimbursement], as a result of a drawing under a Letter of Credit, and the Obligations of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Lenders upon a draw under a Letter of Credit, shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.9 under all circumstances, including the following circumstances:

(iii) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit;

(iv) any claim of breach of warranty that might be made by any Loan Party or any Lender against any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit, or the existence of any claim, set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, crossclaim, defense or other right which any Loan Party or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary, successor beneficiary any transferee or assignee of any Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), such Issuing Lender or its Affiliates or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party and the beneficiary for which any Letter of Credit was procured);

(v) the lack of power or authority of any signer of (or any defect in or forgery of any signature or endorsement on) or the form of or lack of validity, sufficiency, accuracy, enforceability or genuineness of any draft, demand, instrument, certificate or other document presented under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, or any fraud or alleged fraud in connection with any Letter of Credit, or the transport of any property or provision of services relating to a Letter of Credit, in each case even if such Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates has been notified thereof;

(vi) payment by such Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(viii) any failure by such Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates to issue any Letter of Credit in the form requested by any Loan Party, unless such Issuing Lender has received written notice from such Loan Party of such failure within three Business Days after such Issuing Lender shall have furnished such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent a copy of such Letter of Credit and such error is material and no drawing has been made thereon prior to receipt of such notice;

(ix) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of a Loan Party;

2.9.8 Indemnity. The Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless each Issuing Lender and any of its Affiliates that has issued a Letter of Credit from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, taxes, penalties, interest, judgments, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel and allocated costs of internal counsel) which such Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of the

issuance of any Letter of Credit, other than as a result of (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing Lender as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (B) failure by such Issuing Lender to comply with Section 2.9.6 [Determinations to Honor Drawing Requests] in a material manner, or (C) the wrongful dishonor by such Issuing Lender or any of its Affiliates of a proper demand for payment made under any Letter of Credit, except if such dishonor resulted from any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or governmental authority.

2.9.9 Liability for Acts and Omissions. As between any Loan Party and each Issuing Lender, or such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates, such Loan Party assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for any of the following, including any losses or damages to any Loan Party or other Person or property relating therefrom: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for an issuance of any such Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged (even if such Issuing Lender or its Affiliates shall have been notified thereof); (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit, or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred, to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit or any other claim of any Loan Party against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, or any such transferee, or any dispute between or among any Loan Party and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any such transferee; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of such Issuing Lender or its Affiliates, as applicable, including any act or omission of any Official Body, and none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of such Issuing Lender’s or its Affiliates rights or powers hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall relieve such Issuing Lender from liability for such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with actions or omissions described in such clauses (i) through (viii) of such sentence. In no event shall such Issuing Lender or its Affiliates be liable to any Loan Party for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, exemplary or special damages or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), or for any damages resulting from any change in the value of any property relating to a Letter of Credit.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Issuing Lender and each of its Affiliates (i) may rely on any oral or other communication believed in good faith by such Issuing Lender or such Affiliate to have been authorized or given by or on behalf of the applicant for a Letter of Credit, (ii) may honor any presentation if the documents presented appear on their face substantially to comply with the terms and conditions of the relevant Letter of Credit; (iii) may honor a previously dishonored presentation under a Letter of Credit, whether such dishonor

was pursuant to a court order, to settle or compromise any claim of wrongful dishonor, or otherwise, and shall be entitled to reimbursement to the same extent as if such presentation had initially been honored, together with any interest paid by such Issuing Lender or its Affiliate; (iv) may honor any drawing that is payable upon presentation of a statement advising negotiation or payment, upon receipt of such statement (even if such statement indicates that a draft or other document is being delivered separately), and shall not be liable for any failure of any such draft or other document to arrive, or to conform in any way with the relevant Letter of Credit; (v) may pay any paying or negotiating bank claiming that it rightfully honored under the laws or practices of the place where such bank is located; and (vi) may settle or adjust any claim or demand made on such Issuing Lender or its Affiliate in any way related to any order issued at the applicant’s request to an air carrier, a letter of guarantee or of indemnity issued to a carrier or any similar document (each an “Order”) and honor any drawing in connection with any Letter of Credit that is the subject of such Order, notwithstanding that any drafts or other documents presented in connection with such Letter of Credit fail to conform in any way with such Letter of Credit.

In furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by such Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under or in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not put such Issuing Lender or its Affiliates under any resulting liability to the Borrower or any Lender.

2.9.10 Issuing Lender Reporting Requirements. Each Issuing Lender shall, on the first Business Day of each month, provide to Administrative Agent and Borrower a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), and the expiration date of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during the preceding month, and any other information relating to such Letter of Credit that the Administrative Agent may request.

2.9.11 Cash Collateral. (i) Upon the request of Administrative Agent, if any Issuing Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an Letter of Credit Borrowing, then Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of the Letter of Credit Obligation relating to such Letter of Credit, or (ii) if, as of five (5) days prior to the Expiration Date, any Letter of Credit Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, Borrower shall immediately Cash Collateralize the then outstanding amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations. Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Lender and the Lenders, a security interest in all Cash Collateral pledged pursuant to this Section or otherwise under this Agreement. All Cash Collateral shall be maintained in a deposit account at the Administrative Agent. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable obligations secured thereby, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

2.10 Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(i) fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.3 [Commitment Fees];

(ii) the Commitment and outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification pursuant to Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers]); provided, that this clause (ii) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby;

(iii) if any Swing Loans are outstanding or any Letter of Credit Obligations exist at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(a) all or any part of the outstanding Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of such Defaulting Lender shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares but only to the extent that (x) the Revolving Facility Usage does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Commitments, and (y) no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at such time;

(b) if the reallocation described in clause (a) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such outstanding Swing Loans, and (y) second, cash collateralize for the benefit of such Issuing Lender the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (a) above) in a deposit account held at the Administrative Agent for so long as such Letter of Credit Obligations are outstanding;

(c) if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations pursuant to clause (b) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations during the period such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations are cash collateralized;

(d) if the Letter of Credit Obligations of the non-Defaulting Lenders are reallocated pursuant to clause (a) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Ratable Share; and

(e) if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations are neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of such Issuing Lender or any other Lender hereunder, all Letter of Credit Fees payable under Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees]

with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Obligations shall be payable to such Issuing Lender (and not to such Defaulting Lender) until and to the extent that such Letter of Credit Obligations are reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and

(iv) so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, PNC shall not be required to fund any Swing Loans and such Issuing Lender shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless such Issuing Lender is satisfied that the related exposure and the Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations will be 100% covered by the Revolving Credit Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.10(iii), and participating interests in any newly made Swing Loan or any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.10(iii)(a) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).

If (i) a Bankruptcy Event with respect to a parent company of any Lender shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue, or (ii) PNC or an Issuing Lender has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, PNC shall not be required to fund any Swing Loan and the Issuing Lenders shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless PNC or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to PNC or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.

In the event that the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, PNC and the Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, and the Ratable Share of the Swing Loans and Letter of Credit Obligations of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Commitment, and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swing Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Ratable Share.

2.11 Increase in Revolving Credit Commitments.

2.11.1 Increasing Lenders and New Lenders. The Borrower may, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, but not more often than two (2) times during the term of this Agreement, request that (1) the current Lenders increase their Revolving Credit Commitments (any current Lender which elects to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment shall be referred to as an “Increasing Lender”) or (2) one or more new lenders reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each a “New Lender”) join this Agreement and provide a Revolving Credit Commitment hereunder, subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) No Obligation to Increase. No current Lender shall be obligated to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment and any increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment by any current Lender shall be in the sole discretion of such current Lender.

(ii) Defaults. There shall exist no Events of Default or Potential Default on the effective date of such increase after giving effect to such increase.

(iii) Aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments. After giving effect to such increase, the total Revolving Credit Commitments shall not exceed $350,000,000.

(iv) Resolutions; Opinion. The Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on or before the effective date of such increase the following documents in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent: (1) certifications of their corporate secretaries with attached resolutions certifying that the increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment has been approved by such Loan Parties, and (2) an opinion of counsel addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders addressing the authorization and execution of the Loan Documents by, and enforceability of the Loan Documents against, the Loan Parties.

(v) Notes. The Borrower shall execute and deliver (1) to each Increasing Lender a replacement revolving credit Note reflecting the new amount of such Increasing Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment after giving effect to the increase (and the prior Note issued to such Increasing Lender shall be deemed to be terminated) and (2) to each New Lender a revolving credit Note reflecting the amount of such New Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment.

(vi) Increasing Lenders. Each Increasing Lender shall confirm its agreement to increase its Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to an acknowledgement in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent, signed by it and the Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent at least five (5) days before the effective date of such increase.

(vii) New Lenders—Joinder. Each New Lender shall execute a lender joinder in substantially the form of Exhibit 2.11 pursuant to which such New Lender shall join and become a party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with a Revolving Credit Commitment in the amount set forth in such lender joinder.

2.11.2 Treatment of Outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit.

(i) Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans. On the on the effective date of such increase, the Borrower shall repay all Loans then outstanding, subject to the Borrower’s indemnity obligations under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]; provided that it may borrow new Loans with a Borrowing Date on such date. Each of the Lenders shall participate in any new Loans made on or after such date in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares after giving effect to the increase in Revolving Credit Commitments contemplated by this Section 2.11.

(ii) Outstanding Letters of Credit. Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans. On the effective date of such increase, each Increasing Lender and each New Lender (i) will be deemed to have purchased a participation in each then outstanding Letter of Credit equal to its Ratable Share of such Letter of Credit and the participation of each other Lender in such Letter of Credit shall be adjusted accordingly and (ii) will acquire, (and will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to) its Ratable Share of all outstanding Participation Advances.

2.12 Utilization of Commitments in Optional Currencies.

2.12.1 Periodic Computations of Dollar Equivalent Amounts of Revolving Credit Loans that are Optional Currency Loans and Letters of Credit Outstanding; Repayment in Same Currency. For purposes of determining utilization of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the

Administrative Agent will determine the Dollar Equivalent amount of (i) the proposed Revolving Credit Loans that are Optional Currency Loans and Letters of Credit to be denominated in an Optional Currency as of the requested Borrowing Date or date of issuance, as the case may be, (ii) the outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations denominated in an Optional Currency as of the last Business Day of each month, and (iii) the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency as of the end of each Interest Period (each such date under clauses (i) through (iii), and any other date on which the Administrative Agent determines it is necessary or advisable to compute the Dollar Equivalent amount of an Optional Currency or an Unavailable Currency, in its sole discretion, is referred to as a “Computation Date”). Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Company, each Loan and Reimbursement Obligation shall be repaid or prepaid in the same currency in which the Loan or Reimbursement Obligation was made.

2.12.2 Notices From Lenders That Optional Currencies Are Unavailable to Fund New Loans. The Lenders shall be under no obligation to make the Revolving Credit Loans requested by the Borrower which are denominated in an Optional Currency if any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent by 5:00 p.m. four (4) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date for such Revolving Credit Loans that such Lender cannot provide its Revolving Credit Ratable Share of such Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency. In the event the Administrative Agent timely receives a notice from a Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower no later than 12:00 noon three (3) Business Days prior to the Borrowing Date for such Revolving Credit Loans that the Optional Currency is not then available for such Revolving Credit Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of the same and the Lenders shall not make such Revolving Credit Loans requested by the Borrower under its Loan Request.

2.12.3 Notices From Lenders That Optional Currencies Are Unavailable to Fund Renewals of the Euro-Rate Option. If the Borrower delivers a Loan Request requesting that the Lenders renew the Euro-Rate Option with respect to an outstanding Borrowing Tranche of Revolving Credit Loans denominated in an Optional Currency, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to renew such Euro-Rate Option if any Lender delivers to the Administrative Agent a notice by 5:00 p.m. four (4) Business Days prior to the effective date of such renewal that such Lender cannot continue to provide Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency. In the event the Administrative Agent timely receives a notice from a Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower no later than 12:00 noon three (3) Business Days prior to the renewal date that the renewal of such Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency is not then available, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of the same. If the Administrative Agent shall have so notified the Borrower that any such continuation of such Revolving Credit Loans in such Optional Currency is not then available, any notice of renewal with respect thereto shall be deemed withdrawn, and such Loans shall be redenominated into Loans in Dollars at the Base Rate Option or Euro-Rate Option, at the Borrower’s option (subject, in the case of the Euro-Rate Option, to compliance with Section 2.6.1 [Making Revolving Credit Loans, Etc.] and Section 4.1[Interest Rate Options]), with effect from the last day of the Interest Period with respect to any such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any such redenomination, and in such notice, the Administrative Agent will state the aggregate Dollar Equivalent amount of the redenominated Revolving Credit Loans in an Optional Currency as of the applicable

Computation Date with respect thereto and such Lender’s Revolving Credit Ratable Share thereof.

2.12.4 European Monetary Union.

(i) Payments In Euros Under Certain Circumstances. If (i) any Optional Currency ceases to be lawful currency of the nation issuing the same and is replaced by the Euro or (ii) any Optional Currency and the Euro are at the same time recognized by any governmental authority of the nation issuing such currency as lawful currency of such nation and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall so request in a notice delivered to the Borrower, then any amount payable hereunder by any party hereto in such Optional Currency shall instead by payable in the Euro and the amount so payable shall be determined by translating the amount payable in such Optional Currency to the Euro at the exchange rate established by that nation for the purpose of implementing the replacement of the relevant Optional Currency by the Euro (and the provisions governing payments in Optional Currencies in this Agreement shall apply to such payment in the Euro as if such payment in the Euro were a payment in an Optional Currency). Prior to the occurrence of the event or events described in clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence, each amount payable hereunder in any Optional Currency will, except as otherwise provided herein, continue to be payable only in that currency.

(ii) Additional Compensation Under Certain Circumstances. The Borrower agrees, at the request of any Lender, to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost, expense or reduction in return that such Lender shall reasonably determine shall be incurred or sustained by such Lender as a result of the replacement of any Optional Currency by the Euro and that would not have been incurred or sustained but for the transactions provided for herein. A certificate of any Lender setting forth such Lender’s determination of the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error so long as such determination is made on a reasonable basis. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(iii) Requests for Additional Optional Currencies. The Borrower may deliver to the Administrative Agent a written request that Revolving Credit Loans hereunder also be permitted to be made in any other lawful currency (other than Dollars), in addition to the currencies specified in the definition of “Optional Currency” herein, provided that such currency must be freely traded in the offshore interbank foreign exchange markets, freely transferable, freely convertible into Dollars and available to the Lenders in the Relevant Interbank Market. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such request promptly after the Administrative Agent receives such request. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the acceptance or rejection by the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders of the Borrower’s request. The requested currency shall be approved as an Optional Currency hereunder only if the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders approve of the Borrower’s request.

3. [RESERVED]

4. INTEREST RATES

4.1 Interest Rate Options. The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option or Euro-Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche; provided that there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than twelve (12) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans and provided further that if an Event of Default or Potential Default exists and is continuing, the Borrower may not request, convert to, or renew the Euro-Rate Option for any Loans. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate. Interest on the principal amount of each Optional Currency Loan shall be paid by the Borrower in such Optional Currency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the As-Offered Rate shall only apply to Swing Loans.

4.1.1 Revolving Credit Interest Rate Options; Swing Line Interest Rate. The Borrower shall have the right to select from the following Interest Rate Options applicable to the Revolving Credit Loans:

(i) Revolving Credit Base Rate Option: A fluctuating rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed) equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, such interest rate to change automatically from time to time effective as of the effective date of each change in the Base Rate; or

(ii) Revolving Credit Euro-Rate Option: A rate per annum (computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) equal to the Euro-Rate as determined for each applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

Subject to Section 4.3 [Interest After Default], only the Base Rate Option applicable to Revolving Credit Loans or the As-Offered Rate, as selected by the Borrower, shall apply to the Swing Loans.

4.1.2 Rate Quotations. The Borrower may call the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which a Loan Request is to be delivered to receive an indication of the rates then in effect, but it is acknowledged that such projection shall not be binding on the Administrative Agent or the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is actually in effect when the election is made.

4.2 Interest Periods. At any time when the Borrower shall select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof by delivering a Loan Request to the Administrative Agent (i) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Euro-Rate Option with respect to a Loan denominated in Dollars, and (ii) at least four (4) Business Days prior to the effective date of such Euro-Rate Option with respect

to an Optional Currency Loan. The notice shall specify an Interest Period during which such Interest Rate Option shall apply. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the following provisions shall apply to any selection of, renewal of, or conversion to a Euro-Rate Option:

4.2.1 Amount of Borrowing Tranche. Each Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option shall be in integral multiples of, and not less than, the respective amounts set forth in Section 2.5.1 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests]; and

4.2.2 Renewals. In the case of the renewal of a Euro-Rate Option at the end of an Interest Period, the first day of the new Interest Period shall be the last day of the preceding Interest Period, without duplication in payment of interest for such day.

4.3 Interest After Default. To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and until such time such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived, at the discretion of the Administrative Agent or upon written demand by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent:

4.3.1 Letter of Credit Fees, Interest Rate. The Letter of Credit Fees and the rate of interest for each Loan otherwise applicable pursuant to Section 2.9.2 [Letter of Credit Fees] or Section 4.1 [Interest Rate Options], respectively, shall be increased by 2.0% per annum;

4.3.2 Other Obligations. Each other Obligation hereunder if not paid when due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the rate of interest applicable to Revolving Credit Loans under the Base Rate Option plus an additional 2.0% per annum from the time such Obligation becomes due and payable and until it is Paid In Full; and

4.3.3 Acknowledgment. The Borrower acknowledges that the increase in rates referred to in this Section 4.3 reflects, among other things, the fact that such Loans or other amounts have become a substantially greater risk given their default status and that the Lenders are entitled to additional compensation for such risk; and all such interest shall be payable by Borrower upon demand by Administrative Agent.

4.4 Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available.

4.4.1 Unascertainable. If on any date on which a Euro-Rate would otherwise be determined, the Administrative Agent shall have determined that:

(i) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining such Euro-Rate, or

(ii) a contingency has occurred which materially and adversely affects the London interbank eurodollar market relating to the Euro-Rate, then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

4.4.2 Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available. If at any time any Lender shall have determined that:

(i) the making, maintenance or funding of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies has been made impracticable or unlawful by compliance by such Lender in good faith with any Law or any interpretation or application thereof by any Official Body or with any request or directive of any such Official Body (whether or not having the force of Law), or

(ii) such Euro-Rate Option will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of the establishment or maintenance of any such Loan, or

(iii) after making all reasonable efforts, deposits of the relevant amount in Dollars or in the Optional Currency, as applicable, for the relevant Interest Period for a Loan, or to banks generally, to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, respectively, are not available to such Lender with respect to such Loan, or to banks generally, in the interbank eurodollar market,

then the Administrative Agent shall have the rights specified in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights].

4.4.3 Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights. In the case of any event specified in Section 4.4.1 [Unascertainable] above, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Lenders and the Borrower thereof, and in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available] above, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and endorse a certificate to such notice as to the specific circumstances of such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly send copies of such notice and certificate to the other Lenders and the Borrower. Upon such date as shall be specified in such notice (which shall not be earlier than the date such notice is given), the obligation of (A) the Lenders, in the case of such notice given by the Administrative Agent, or (B) such Lender, in the case of such notice given by such Lender, to allow the Borrower to select, convert to or renew a Euro-Rate Option or select an Optional Currency, as applicable, shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall have later notified the Borrower, or such Lender shall have later notified the Administrative Agent, of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s, as the case may be, determination that the circumstances giving rise to such previous determination no longer exist. If at any time the Administrative Agent makes a determination under Section 4.4.1 [Unascertainable] and the Borrower has previously notified the Administrative Agent of its selection of, conversion to or renewal of a Euro-Rate Option and such Interest Rate Option has not yet gone into effect, such notification shall be deemed to provide for selection of, conversion to or renewal of the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loans. If any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent of a determination under Section 4.4.2 [Illegality; Increased Costs; Deposits Not Available], the Borrower shall, subject to the Borrower’s indemnification Obligations under Section 5.10 [Indemnity], as to any Loan of the Lender to which a Euro-Rate Option applies, on the date specified in such notice either (i) as applicable, convert such Loan to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan or select a different Optional Currency or Dollars, or (ii) or prepay such Loan in accordance with Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments]. Absent due notice from the Borrower of conversion or prepayment, such Loan shall automatically be converted to the Base Rate Option otherwise available with respect to such Loan upon such specified date.

4.5 Selection of Interest Rate Options. If the Borrower fails to select a new Interest Period to apply to any Borrowing Tranche of Loans under the Euro-Rate Option at the expiration of an existing Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing Tranche in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 [Interest Periods], the Borrower shall be deemed to have converted such Borrowing Tranche to the Base Rate Option, commencing upon the last day of the existing Interest Period.

The amount of the interest or fees eligible in applying this agreement shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by Law. Where the amount of such interest or such fees is greater than the maximum rate, the amount shall be reduced to the highest rate which may be recovered in accordance with the applicable provisions of Law.

5. PAYMENTS

5.1 Payments. All payments and prepayments to be made in respect of principal, interest, Commitment Fees, Letter of Credit Fees, Administrative Agent’s Fee or other fees or amounts due from the Borrower hereunder shall be payable prior to 12:00 p.m. on the date when due without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and without set-off, counterclaim or other deduction of any nature, and an action therefor shall immediately accrue. Such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of PNC with respect to the Swing Loans and for the ratable accounts of the Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans in U.S. Dollars (unless otherwise provided herein) and in immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute such amounts to the Lenders in immediately available funds; provided that in the event payments are received by 12:00 p.m. by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Loans and such payments are not distributed to the Lenders on the same day received by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall pay the Lenders interest at the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the case of Loans or other amounts due in Dollars, or the Overnight Rate in the case of Loans or other amounts due in an Optional Currency, with respect to the amount of such payments for each day held by the Administrative Agent and not distributed to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s statement of account, ledger or other relevant record shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as the statement of the amount of principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts owing under this Agreement (including the Equivalent Amounts of the applicable currencies where such computations are required) and shall be deemed an “account stated”. All payments of principal and interest made in respect of the Loans must be repaid in the same currency (whether Dollars or the applicable Optional Currency) in which such Loan was made and all Unpaid Drawings with respect to each Letter of Credit shall be made in the same currency (whether Dollars or the applicable Optional Currency) in which such Letter of Credit was issued; provided that if the currency in which such Loan was made or in which such Letter of Credit was issued is an Unavailable Currency, then the Borrower shall pay the Dollar Equivalent amount of such payment. The Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) debit the amount of any such payment which is not made by such time to any ordinary deposit account of the applicable Borrower with the Administrative Agent.

5.2 Pro Rata Treatment of Lenders. Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall be allocated to each Lender according to its Ratable Share, and each selection of, conversion to

or renewal of any Interest Rate Option and each payment or prepayment by the Borrower with respect to principal, interest, Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees (but excluding the Administrative Agent’s Fee and each Issuing Lender’s fronting fee) shall (except as otherwise may be provided with respect to a Defaulting Lender and except as provided in Sections 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights] in the case of an event specified in Section 4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] or 5.8 [Increased Costs]) be payable ratably among the Lenders entitled to such payment in accordance with the amount of principal, interest, Commitment Fees and Letter of Credit Fees, as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, each borrowing or payment or prepayment by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees or other amounts from the Borrower with respect to Swing Loans shall be made by or to PNC according to Section 2.6.5 [Borrowings to Repay Swing Loans].

5.3 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff, counterclaim or banker’s lien, by receipt of voluntary payment, by realization upon security, or by any other non-pro rata source, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than the pro-rata share of the amount such Lender is entitled thereto, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:

(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, together with interest or other amounts, if any, required by Law (including court order) to be paid by the Lender or the holder making such purchase; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Loan Parties pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of the Loan Documents or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or Participation Advances to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 5.3 shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

5.4 Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower

has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate (or, for payments in an Optional Currency, the Overnight Rate) and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

5.5 Interest Payment Dates. Interest on Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies shall be due and payable in arrears on each Payment Date. Interest on Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies shall be due and payable on the last day of each Interest Period for those Loans and, if such Interest Period is longer than three (3) Months, also on the 90th day of such Interest Period. Interest on mandatory prepayments of principal under Section 5.7 [Mandatory Prepayments] shall be due on the date such mandatory prepayment is due. Interest on the principal amount of each Loan or other monetary Obligation shall be due and payable on demand after such principal amount or other monetary Obligation becomes due and payable (whether on the stated maturity date, upon acceleration or otherwise).

5.6 Voluntary Prepayments.

5.6.1 Right to Prepay. The Borrower shall have the right at its option from time to time to prepay the Loans in whole or part without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] below, in Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] and Section 5.10 [Indemnity]). Whenever the Borrower desires to prepay any part of the Loans, it shall provide a prepayment notice to the Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans denominated in Dollars, and at least four (4) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of any Optional Currency Loans, or no later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment of Swing Loans, setting forth the following information:

(w) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which the proposed prepayment is to be made;

(x) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans;

(y) a statement indicating the application of the prepayment between Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies and Loans to which the As-Offered Rate applies; and

(z) the total principal amount of such prepayment, which shall not be less than the lesser of (i) the Revolving Facility Usage or (ii) $100,000 for any Swing Loan or $500,000 for any Revolving Credit Loan.

All prepayment notices shall be irrevocable. The principal amount of the Loans for which a prepayment notice is given, together with interest on such principal amount, shall be due and payable on the date specified in such prepayment notice as the date on which the proposed prepayment is to be made. Except as provided in Section 4.4.3 [Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s Rights], if the Borrower prepays a Loan but fails to specify the applicable Borrowing Tranche which the Borrower is prepaying, the prepayment shall be applied first to Revolving Credit Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to Revolving Credit Loans which are not Optional Currency Loans to which the Euro-Rate Option applies, then to Optional Currency Loans, then to Swing Loans to which the Base Rate Option applies, then to Swing Loans to which the As-Offered Rate applies. Any prepayment hereunder shall be subject to the Borrower’s Obligation to indemnify the Lenders under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]. Prepayments shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made unless otherwise directed by the Administrative Agent or unless such currency is an Unavailable Currency, in which case the Borrower shall pay the Dollar Equivalent amount of such prepayment.

5.6.2 Replacement of a Lender. In the event any Lender (i) gives notice under Section 4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.], (ii) requests compensation under Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], (iii) is a Defaulting Lender, (iv) becomes subject to the control of an Official Body (other than normal and customary supervision), or (v) is a Non-Consenting Lender referred to in Section 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers], then in any such event the Borrower may, at its sole expense, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns]), all of its interests, rights (other than existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 5.8 [Increased Costs] or 5.9 [Taxes]) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.8 [Successors and Assigns];

(ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and Participation Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 5.10 [Indemnity]) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);

(iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

(iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

5.6.3 Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.8 [Increased Costs], or the Borrower is or will be required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Official Body for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.9 [Taxes], then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.8 [Increased Costs] or Section 5.9 [Taxes], as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment

5.7 Mandatory Prepayments.

5.7.1 Recovery of Insurance Proceeds. Within one hundred eighty (180) days of the receipt of insurance proceeds from a loss described in clause (c) of Schedule 8.1.3 (or, within sixty (60) days after such receipt, to the extent such Loan Party has failed to provide to the Administrative Agent satisfactory evidence of such Loan Party’s commitment to reinvest such proceeds as provided in clause (c) of Schedule 8.1.3, to the extent that such Loan Party has not reinvested such proceeds), the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal equal to 100% of the net (after reinvestment, if any) after-tax proceeds thereof, together with accrued interest on such principal amount. Within one hundred eighty (180) days of the receipt of insurance proceeds by a Loan Party from a loss which are not reinvested as described in clause (c) of Schedule 8.1.3 (or, within sixty (60) days after such receipt, to the extent a Loan Party has failed to provide to the Administrative Agent satisfactory evidence of such Loan Party’s commitment to reinvest such proceeds as provided in clause (c) of Schedule 8.1.3), the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment of principal equal to 100% of the net (after reinvestment, if any) after-tax proceeds thereof, together with accrued interest on such principal amount.

5.7.2 Currency Fluctuations. If on any Computation Date the Revolving Facility Usage is equal to or greater than the Revolving Credit Commitments as a result of a change in exchange rates between one (1) or more Optional Currencies and Dollars, then the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the same. The Borrower shall pay or prepay (subject to Borrower’s indemnity obligations under Sections 5.8 and 5.10) within one (1) Business Day after receiving such notice such that the Revolving Facility Usage shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to such payments or prepayments.

5.7.3 Application Among Loans and Interest Rate Options. All prepayments pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be first applied to the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, if any, and the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower. All prepayments required pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall first be applied among the Interest Rate Options to the principal amount

of the Loans subject to the Base Rate Option, then to Loans denominated in Dollars and subject to the Euro-Rate Option, then to Optional Currency Loans. In accordance with Section 5.10 [Indemnity], the Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders for any loss or expense, including loss of margin, incurred with respect to any such prepayments applied against Loans subject to a Euro-Rate Option on any day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period.

5.8 Increased Costs.

5.8.1 Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Euro-Rate) or any Issuing Lender;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender, an Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

5.8.2 Capital Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by an Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

5.8.3 Certificates for Reimbursement; Repayment of Outstanding Loans; Borrowing of New Loans. A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Sections 5.8.1 [Increased Costs Generally] or 5.8.2 [Capital Requirements] and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

5.8.4 Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

5.9 Taxes.

5.9.1 Issuing Lender. For purposes of this Section 5.9, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Lender and the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.

5.9.2 Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.9 [Taxes]) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

5.9.3 Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

5.9.4 Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.9 [Taxes]) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified

Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

5.9.5 Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.8.4 [Participations] relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Official Body. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 5.9.5 [Indemnification by the Lenders].

5.9.6 Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to an Official Body pursuant to this Section 5.9 [Taxes], such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Official Body evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

5.9.7 Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.9.7(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 5.9.7(A) to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 5.9.7(B) or Exhibit 5.9.7(C), IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit 5.9.7(D) on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

5.9.8 Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.9 [Taxes] (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.9 [Taxes]), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5.9 [Taxes] with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Official Body with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party incurred in connection with obtaining such refund, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 5.9.8 [Treatment of Certain Refunds] (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Official Body) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Official Body. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.9.8 [Treatment of Certain Refunds]), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.9.8 [Treatment of Certain Refunds] the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification

payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

5.9.9 Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.9 [Taxes] shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations.

5.10 Indemnity. In addition to the compensation or payments required by Section 5.8 [Increased Costs]or Section 5.9 [Taxes], the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against all liabilities, losses or expenses (including loss of anticipated profits, any foreign exchange losses and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan, from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained or from the performance of any foreign exchange contract) which such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of any:

(i) payment, prepayment, conversion or renewal of any Loan to which a Euro-Rate Option applies on a day other than the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (whether or not such payment or prepayment is mandatory, voluntary or automatic and whether or not such payment or prepayment is then due),

(ii) attempt by the Borrower to revoke (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or part any Loan Requests under Section 2.5 [Revolving Credit Loan Requests; Swing Loan Requests] or Section 4.2 [Interest Periods] or notice relating to prepayments under Section 5.6 [Voluntary Prepayments], or

If any Lender sustains or incurs any such loss or expense, it shall from time to time notify the Borrower of the amount determined in good faith by such Lender (which determination may include such assumptions, allocations of costs and expenses and averaging or attribution methods as such Lender shall deem reasonable) to be necessary to indemnify such Lender for such loss or expense. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such determination. Such amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given.

5.11 Settlement Date Procedures. In order to minimize the transfer of funds between the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swing Loans and PNC may make Swing Loans as provided in Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loan Commitments] hereof during the period between Settlement Dates. The Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of its Ratable Share of the total of the Revolving Credit Loans and the Swing Loans (each a “Required Share”). On such Settlement Date, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the amount equal to the difference between its Required Share and its Revolving Credit Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall pay to each Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans. The Administrative Agent shall also effect settlement in accordance with the foregoing sentence on the proposed Borrowing Dates for Revolving Credit Loans and

on any mandatory prepayment date as provided for herein and may at its option effect settlement on any other Business Day. These settlement procedures are established solely as a matter of administrative convenience, and nothing contained in this Section 5.11 shall relieve the Lenders of their obligations to fund Revolving Credit Loans on dates other than a Settlement Date pursuant to Section 2.1.2 [Swing Loan Commitment]. The Administrative Agent may at any time at its option for any reason whatsoever require each Lender to pay immediately to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Share of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and each Lender may at any time require the Administrative Agent to pay immediately to such Lender its Ratable Share of all payments made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Revolving Credit Loans.

5.12 Collections; Administrative Agent’s Right to Notify Account Debtors. After the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, and upon request of the Required Lenders, shall (i) notify any or all Account Debtors that the Accounts have been assigned to the Lenders and that the Lenders have a security interest therein, and (ii) direct such Account Debtors to make all payments due from them to the Borrower and the Guarantors upon the Accounts directly to the Administrative Agent or to a lockbox designated by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly furnish the Borrower with a copy of any such notice sent. Any such notice, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, may be sent on the Borrower’s stationery, in which event the Borrower shall co-sign such notice with the Administrative Agent. To the extent that any Law or custom or any contract or agreement with any Account Debtor requires notice to or the approval of the Account Debtor in order to perfect such assignment of a security interest in Accounts, the Borrower agrees to give such notice or obtain such approval.

5.13 Currency Conversion Procedures for Judgments. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in any currency (the “Original Currency”) into another currency (the “Other Currency”), the parties hereby agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal lending procedures each Lender could purchase the Original Currency with the Other Currency after any premium and costs of exchange on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

5.14 Indemnity in Certain Events. The obligation of Borrower in respect of any sum due from Borrower to any Lender hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in an Other Currency, whether pursuant to a judgment or otherwise, be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by any Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in such Other Currency, such Lender may in accordance with normal lending procedures purchase the Original Currency with such Other Currency. If the amount of the Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender in the Original Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment or payment, to indemnify such Lender against such loss.

6.1.16 Security Interests.

10. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.1 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Lender hereby irrevocably appoints PNC to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section 10 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

10.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

10.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

101

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.1 [Modifications, Amendments or Waivers] and 9.2 [Consequences of Event of Default]) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Potential Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Potential Default or Event of Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 7 [Conditions of Lending and Issuance of Letters of Credit] or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

10.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or such Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or such Issuing Lender prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

10.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 10 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

102

10.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with approval from the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and each Issuing Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section 10.6. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 10 and Section 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver] shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

If PNC resigns as Administrative Agent under this Section 10.6, PNC shall also resign as an Issuing Lender. Upon the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall (i) succeed to all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of PNC as the retiring Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent and PNC shall be discharged from all of its respective duties and obligations as Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, and (ii) issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit issued by PNC, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to PNC to effectively assume the obligations of PNC with respect to such Letters of Credit.

10.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the

103

Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

The Lenders and Issuing Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to release (i) any Collateral consisting of assets or equity interests sold or otherwise disposed of in a sale or other disposition or transfer permitted under Section 8.2.7 [Dispositions of Assets or Subsidiaries] or Section 8.2.6 [Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions], and (ii) any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement if the ownership interests in such Guarantor are sold or otherwise disposed of or transferred to persons other than Loan Parties or Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties in a transaction permitted under Section 8.2.7 [Dispositions of Assets or Subsidiaries] or Section 8.2.6 [Liquidations, Mergers, Consolidations, Acquisitions].

10.11 No Reliance on Administrative Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (i) any identity verification procedures, (ii) any recordkeeping, (iii) comparisons with government lists, (iv) customer notices or (v) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Laws.

be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 11.3.2 [Indemnification by the Borrower] shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

11.3.3 Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Sections 11.3.1 [Costs and Expenses] or 11.3.2 [Indemnification by the Borrower] to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Lenders or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Lenders or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Ratable Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or an Issuing Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or Issuing Lender in connection with such capacity.

11.3.4 Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in Section 11.3.2 [Indemnification by Borrower] shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

11.3.5 Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor.

11.4 Holidays. Whenever payment of a Loan to be made or taken hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day such payment shall be due on the next Business Day (except as provided in Section 4.2 [Interest Periods]) and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, except that the Loans shall be due on the Business Day preceding the Expiration Date if the Expiration Date is not a Business Day. Whenever any payment or action to be made or taken hereunder (other than payment of the Loans) shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment or action shall be made or taken on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall not be included in computing interest or fees, if any, in connection with such payment or action.

107

11.5 Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communication.

11.5.1 Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in Section 11.5.2 [Electronic Communications]), all notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopier (i) if to a Lender, to it at its address set forth in its administrative questionnaire, or (ii) if to any other Person, to it at its address set forth on Schedule 1.1(B).

Notices sent by hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in Section 11.5.2 [Electronic Communications], shall be effective as provided in such Section.

11.5.2 Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender or any Issuing Lender if such Lender or such Issuing Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement); provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

108

11.7 Duration; Survival. All representations and warranties of the Loan Parties contained herein or made in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the completion of the transactions hereunder and Payment In Full. All covenants and agreements of the Borrower contained herein relating to the payment of principal, interest, premiums, additional compensation or expenses and indemnification, including those set forth in the Notes, Section 5 [Payments] and Section 11.3 [Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver], shall survive Payment In Full.

11.8 Successors and Assigns.

11.8.1 Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders], (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.8.4 [Participations], or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.8.5 [Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally] (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 11.8.4 [Participations] and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

11.8.2 Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in clause (i)(A) of this Section 11.8.2, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000,

109

in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the assigning Lender, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except for the consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

(B) the consent of the Issuing Lenders (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding).

(iv) Assignment and Assumption Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire provided by the Administrative Agent.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.8.3 [Register], from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable; Etc.], 5.8 [Increased Costs], and 11.3 [Expenses, Indemnity; Damage Waiver] with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.8.2 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.8.4 [Participations].

110

11.8.3 Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain a record of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. Such register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is in such register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

11.8.4 Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuing Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree (other than as is already provided for herein) to any amendment, modification or waiver with respect to Sections 11.1.1 [Increase of Commitment], 11.1.2 [Extension of Payment, Etc.], or 11.1.3 [Release of Collateral or Guarantor]) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4 [Euro-Rate Unascertainable, Etc.], 5.8 [Increased Costs], 5.10 [Indemnity] and 5.9 [Taxes] (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.9.7 [Status of Lenders] (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.9.7 [Status of Lenders] shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders]; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] and Section 5.6.3 [Designation of a Different Lending Office] as if it were an assignee under Section 11.8.2 [Assignments by Lenders]; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.8 [Increased Costs] or 5.9 [Taxes], with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.6.2 [Replacement of a Lender] and Section 5.6.3 [Designation of Different Lending Office] with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.2.3 [Set-off] as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 5.3 [Sharing of Payments by Lenders] as

111

though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

11.8.5 Certain Pledges; Successors and Assigns Generally. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

11.9 Confidentiality.

11.9.1 General. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (B) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (vii) with the consent of the Borrower or (viii) to the extent such Information (Y) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (Z) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or the other Loan Parties. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

112

11.9.2 Sharing Information With Affiliates of the Lenders. Each Loan Party acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to the Borrower or one or more of its Affiliates (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and each of the Loan Parties hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by such Loan Party and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate subject to the provisions of Section 11.9.1 [General].

11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

11.10.1 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof including any prior confidentiality agreements and commitments. Except as provided in Section 7 [Conditions Of Lending And Issuance Of Letters Of Credit], this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or e-mail shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

11.11 CHOICE OF LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF VENUE; SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

11.11.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract under the Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without regard to its conflict of laws principles.

11.14 Funding by Branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate.

11.14.1 Notional Funding. Each Lender shall have the right from time to time, without notice to the Borrower, to deem any branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate (which for the purposes of this Section 11.14 shall mean any corporation or association which is directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with any corporation or association which directly or indirectly controls such Lender) of such Lender to have made, maintained or funded any Loan to which the Euro-Rate Option applies at any time, provided that immediately following (on the assumption that a payment were then due from the Borrower to such other office), and as a result of such change, the Borrower would not be under any greater financial obligation pursuant to Section 2.12.4 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances] than it would have been in the absence of such change. Notional funding offices may be selected by each Lender without regard to such Lender’s actual methods of making, maintaining or funding the Loans or any sources of funding actually used by or available to such Lender.

11.14.2 Actual Funding. Each Lender shall have the right from time to time to make or maintain any Loan by arranging for a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender to make or maintain such Loan subject to the last sentence of this Section 11.14.2. If any Lender causes a branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain any part of the Loans hereunder, all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall, except where the context clearly requires otherwise, be applicable to such part of the Loans to the same extent as if such Loans were made or maintained by such Lender, but in no event shall any Lender’s use of such a branch,

115

Subsidiary or Affiliate to make or maintain any part of the Loans hereunder cause such Lender or such branch, Subsidiary or Affiliate to incur any cost or expenses payable by the Borrower hereunder or require the Borrower to pay any other compensation to any Lender (including any expenses incurred or payable pursuant to Section 2.12.4 [Additional Compensation in Certain Circumstances]) which would otherwise not be incurred.

11.15 Amendment and Restatement, No Novation. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Existing Credit Agreement, and the Borrower and the Guarantors confirm that: the Existing Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Collateral for the Obligations thereunder (as all such capitalized terms are defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) have at all times, since the date of the execution and delivery of such documents, remained in full force and effect and continued to secure such obligations which are continued as the Obligations hereunder as amended hereby. The Loans hereunder are a continuation of the Loans under (and as such term is defined in) the Existing Credit Agreement. The Borrower, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement and any Loan Documents expressly amended by this Agreement is not intended to constitute, nor does it constitute, a novation, interruption, suspension of continuity, satisfaction, discharge or termination of the obligations, loans, liabilities, or indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents thereunder or the collateral security therefor, and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are entitled to all rights and benefits originally pertaining to the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as such term is defined therein).

SCHEDULE 1.1(A)

PRICING GRID—

VARIABLE PRICING AND LETTER OF CREDIT

FEES BASED ON LEVERAGE RATIO


Level	Leverage Ratio	Letter of Credit Fee			Revolving Credit Base Rate Spread			Revolving Credit Euro-Rate Spread
I	Less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.00		1.75	%		0.75	%		1.75	%
II	Greater than 2.25 to 1.00 but less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00		2.00	%		1.00	%		2.00	%
III	Greater than 2.75 to 1.00		2.25	%		1.25	%		2.25	%

For purposes of determining the Applicable Margin and the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate:

(a) The Applicable Margin and the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate shall be determined on the Closing Date based on the Leverage Ratio computed as of December 31, 2012 pursuant to a Compliance Certificate to be delivered on the Closing Date.

(b) The Applicable Margin and the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate shall be recomputed as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date based on the Leverage Ratio as of such quarter end. Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin or the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate computed as of a quarter end shall be effective on the date on which the Compliance Certificate evidencing such computation is due to be delivered under Section 8.3.3 [Certificate of Borrower], except that any changes in pricing levels relating to outstanding Borrowing Tranches of Optional Currency Loans shall be effective upon the expiration of the current Interest Period with respect to such Borrowing Tranches. If a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with such Section 8.3.3, then the rates in Level III shall apply as of the first Business Day after the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered and shall remain in effect until the date on which such Compliance Certificate is delivered.

(c) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Borrower or the Lenders determine that (i) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrower shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to

the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.9 [Letter of Credit Subfacility] or Section 4.3 [Interest After Default] or Section 9 [Default]. The Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

SCHEDULE 6.1.7

LITIGATION

1. Coal Tar Pitch Cases.

Koppers Inc. (the “Company”), along with other defendants, is currently a defendant in lawsuits filed in three states in which the plaintiffs claim they suffered a variety of illnesses (including cancer) as a result of exposure to coal tar pitch sold by the defendants. There are approximately 136 plaintiffs in 75 cases pending as of December 31, 2012 as compared to 131 plaintiffs in 73 cases at December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2012, there are a total of 70 cases pending in state court in Pennsylvania, four in Arkansas, and one case pending in state court in Tennessee.

The plaintiffs in all 75 pending cases seek to recover compensatory damages, while plaintiffs in 67 cases also seek to recover punitive damages. The plaintiffs in the 70 cases filed in Pennsylvania state court seek unspecified damages in excess of the court’s minimum jurisdictional limit. The plaintiffs in the Arkansas state court cases each seek compensatory damages in excess of $50,000 in addition to punitive damages. The plaintiffs in the Tennessee state court case each seek damages of $15.0 million. The other defendants in these lawsuits vary from case to case and include companies such as Beazer East, Inc., United States Steel Corporation, Honeywell International Inc., Vertellus Specialties Inc., Dow Chemical Company, UCAR Carbon Company, Inc., Exxon Mobil Corporation, SGL Carbon Corporation, Alcoa, Inc., and PPG Industries, Inc. Discovery is proceeding in these cases. No trial dates have been set in any of these cases.

The Company has not provided a reserve for these lawsuits because, at this time, the Company cannot reasonably determine the probability of a loss, and the amount of loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. The timing of resolution of these cases cannot be reasonably determined. Although the Company is vigorously defending these cases, an unfavorable resolution of these matters may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

2. Gainesville.

The Company operated a utility pole treatment plant in Gainesville from December 29, 1988 until its closure in 2009. The property upon which the utility pole treatment plant was located was sold by the Company to Beazer East, Inc. in 2010.

In November 2010, a class action complaint was filed in the Circuit Court of the Eighth Judicial Circuit located in Alachua County, Florida by residential real property owners located in a neighborhood west of and immediately adjacent to the former utility pole treatment plant in Gainesville. The complaint named Koppers Holdings Inc., the Company, Beazer East and several other parties as defendants. The complaint alleges that chemicals and dust from the plant have contaminated and impacted plaintiffs’ properties by reducing the fair market value and the exposure to the “contaminants” has left them at risk for the development of future injuries. The complaint seeks injunctive relief and compensatory damages for diminution in property values and for plaintiffs’ loss of use and enjoyment of the properties and the establishment of a fund for medical monitoring and punitive damages.

- 35 -

The case was removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida in December 2010. Koppers Holdings Inc. filed a motion to dismiss alleging that the Court lacks personal jurisdiction over it. The Court has not yet ruled on Koppers Holdings Inc.’s motion to dismiss. Discovery and all prior deadlines were stayed for nine months until January 2013 while the parties explored settlement possibilities. The stay was recently lifted and plaintiffs have filed an amended complaint which further expands the boundaries of the “class affected area,” introduces arsenic and hexavalent chromium as additional “contaminants” of concern, adds multiple new defendants and injects additional causes of action into the case. The Court has not yet scheduled a class certification hearing or trial.

The Company has not provided a reserve for this matter because, at this time, it cannot reasonably determine the probability of a loss, and the amount of loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. The timing of resolution of this case cannot be reasonably determined. Although the Company is vigorously defending this case, an unfavorable resolution of this matter may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

SCHEDULE 6.1.25

ENVIRONMENTAL DISCLOSURES

Section 6.1.25(i):

In July 2008, the Illinois EPA (“IEPA”) issued two Notices of Violation to the Stickney, Illinois facility alleging improper management of hazardous materials and demanding an investigation of the site. One notice was for the owned portion of the site (38 acres) and one Notice was for the leased terminal. Subsequently, the terminal owner, Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (“MWRD”) issued a Default Notice on the lease and demanded Koppers cure the default within 90 days. Koppers, Inc. (the “Company”) has met with IEPA and gained consensus on a work plan for investigation for both sites. MWRD indicates they will not pursue the default notice unless the Company fails to comply with IEPA requirements for the investigation and remediation.

In February 2007, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA” or “USEPA”) Region IV issued an Information Request to both the Company and Beazer East, Inc. regarding the investigation and remediation of the Grenada, Mississippi facility. In subsequent meetings, the parties agreed to additional investigation to address alleged information gaps in the on-going investigation.

Portland Harbor Superfund. The Company has been named as one of the potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at the Portland Harbor CERCLA site located on the Willamette River in Oregon. The Company currently operates a coal tar pitch terminal near the site. The Company has responded to an EPA information request and has executed a PRP agreement which outlines the process to develop an allocation of past and future costs among more than 80 parties to the site. The Company believes that it is a de minimus contributor at the site. Additionally, a separate natural resources damages assessment (“NRDA”) is being conducted by a local trustee group. The NRDA is intended to identify further information necessary to estimate liabilities for remediation based settlements of national resource damages (“NRD”) claims. The Company may also incur liabilities under the NRD process and has entered into a separate process to develop an allocation of NRD cost.

On March 30, 2012, a draft Feasibility Study (“FS”) was submitted to EPA by the Lower Willamette Group (“LWG”), a group of certain PRPs which has been conducting the investigation of the site. The draft FS identifies ten possible remedial alternatives which range in cost from approximately $170 million to $1.8 billion. The FS does not determine who is responsible for remediation costs or select remedies. The FS is under review by the EPA which will issue a final decision on the nature and extent of the final remediation. Responsibility for implementing and funding that work will be decided in a separate allocation process.

Other than the estimated costs of participating in the PRP group at the Portland Harbor CERCLA site, the Company has not provided a reserve for this matter because there has not been a determination of the total cost of the investigation, the remediation that will be required, the amount of natural resources damages or how those costs will be allocated

among the PRPs. Accordingly, the Company believes that it cannot reasonably determine the probability of a loss, and the amount of loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. An unfavorable resolution of this matter may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Newark Bay Superfund. In September 2009, the Company received a general notice letter notifying it that it may be a PRP at the Newark Bay CERCLA site. In January 2010, Koppers Inc. submitted a response to the general notice letter asserting that Koppers Inc. is a de minimus party at this site.

Other than the estimated costs of participating in the PRP group at the Newark Bay CERCLA site, the Company has not provided a reserve for this matter because there has not been a determination of the total cost of the investigation, the remediation that will be required, the amount of natural resources damages or how those costs will be allocated among the PRPs. Accordingly, the Company believes that it cannot reasonably determine the probability of a loss, and the amount of loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. An unfavorable resolution of this matter may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

5)	In addition, the Company has been notified that it is a PRP in the following site and has joined the PRP group at the following site:

a. LWD, Xxxxxxx City, Kentucky - In 2009, USEPA accepted completion of remedial activities at the site. Subsequently, the Kentucky Department of Environmental Protection (“KYDEP”) identified additional potential work areas. Final costs and a consent order are being prepared to complete the PRP’s approved scope of work and operation and maintenance (“O&M”) plan for these areas. The PRPs and other settling parties have signed an agreement with USEPA to settle USEPA’s claim for past recovery cost reimbursement. The agreement will be finalized by USEPA and issued for public comments in the near future. The PRP Group’s and USEPA’s tolling agreements with non-settling parties expired on 12/31/2012 and the PRPs filed suit against non-settling parties at that time. The Company does not believe that on an individual basis this matter would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

6)	See also Item 2 (Gainesville matter) on Schedule 6.1.7

Section 6.1.25(ii):

Follansbee, WV NPDES – a permit was issued in February 2013 with modified discharge limits on certain parameters which the Company cannot currently meet. The Company has appealed the modified discharge limits on those certain parameters (and certain other minor matters) and is working with the West Virginia DEP to resolve the issues.

Guthrie, KY air permit – As the result of installation of new equipment, Kentucky required the Company to perform air emission testing. The results of such testing are in discussion and may result in modified permit limits.

Clairton, PA air permit – While developing Title V Application for the facility, the facility discovered permits initiated by former owners which are not a part of the current permit application. The Company is working with the Allegheny County Health Department to resolve the issues associated with these permits with the goal of obtaining the required Title V Permit.

Section 6.1.25(iii):

Follansbee, WV NPDES - a permit was issued in February 2013 with modified discharge limits on certain parameters which the Company cannot currently meet.

At the request of the Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders (x) on the Closing Date and annually thereafter an original certificate of insurance signed by the Loan Parties’ independent insurance broker describing and certifying as to the existence of the insurance on the Collateral required to be maintained by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with a copy of the endorsement described in the next sentence attached to such certificate, and (y) from time to time a summary schedule indicating all insurance then in force with respect to each of the Loan Parties. Such policies of insurance shall contain special endorsements, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, which shall include the provisions set forth below or are otherwise in form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its discretion. The applicable Loan Parties shall notify the Administrative Agent promptly of any occurrence causing a material loss or decline in value of the Collateral and the estimated (or actual, if available) amount of such loss or decline. Except for monies which the applicable Loan Party is entitled to use for replacement or rebuilding as permitted herein, any monies received by the Administrative Agent constituting insurance proceeds for the Collateral may, at the option of the Administrative Agent, (i) be applied by the Administrative Agent to the payment of the Loans in such manner as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine, or (ii) be disbursed to the applicable Loan Parties on such terms as are deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the repair, restoration and/or replacement of property in respect of which such proceeds were received.

Except in the case of liability insurance and workmen’s compensation insurance relating to the Collateral owned by the Loan Parties:

(a) provided no Event of Default or Potential Default exists, all insurance proceeds for losses of $10,000,000 or less shall be adjusted with and payable to the applicable Loan Parties,

(b) provided no Event of Default or Potential Default exists, all insurance proceeds for losses greater than $10,000,000 but less than $30,000,000 shall be adjusted with and payable to the applicable Loan Parties and shall be either used by the Loan Parties within 180 days of the receipt of such proceeds to rebuild or replace the property subject to such loss (provided that the Loan Parties shall have provided to the Administrative Agent within 60 days of the receipt of such proceeds satisfactory evidence of such Loan Parties’ commitment to rebuild or replace such property in the form of executed purchase orders, construction contracts and the like) or applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7.2 [Application Among Loans and Interest Rate Options]; and

(c) all insurance proceeds for losses of $30,000,000 or more shall be adjusted with the applicable Loan Parties and payable to the Administrative Agent; provided that in the event of such a loss under this clause (iii), the Loan Parties may provide the Administrative Agent with a written request within 10 days of such loss that the Loan Parties be permitted to use the insurance proceeds associated with such loss for rebuilding or replacing the property subject to such loss, and upon receipt of such request, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such request to the Lenders, which shall have 15 days to decide whether to approve or deny such request, and,

(i) in the event that the Required Lenders approve such request, the Administrative Agent shall provide notice of such approval to the Borrower, and

the Borrower shall have 180 days from the receipt of such proceeds to rebuild or replace the property subject to such loss (provided that the Loan Parties shall have provided to the Administrative Agent within 60 days of the receipt of such proceeds satisfactory evidence of such Loan Parties’ commitment to rebuild or replace such property in the form of executed purchase orders, construction contracts and the like),

(ii) in the event that the Required Lenders fail to approve such request or the Loan Parties fail to reinvest such funds within 180 days from the date of receipt of such proceeds (or fail to provide the Administrative Agent with satisfactory evidence of such parties’ commitment to rebuild or replace such property within 60 days of the receipt of such proceeds), such proceeds shall be applied as a mandatory prepayment of the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5.3,

(iii) include effective waivers by the insurer of all claims for insurance premiums against the Administrative Agent,

(iv) provide that no cancellation of such policies by reason of non-payment of premium shall be effective until at least ten (10) days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such cancellation,

(v) provide that no cancellation of such policies for any reason (other than non-payment of premium) nor any change therein shall be effective until at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such cancellation or change,

(vi) be primary without right of contribution of any other insurance carried by or on behalf of any additional insureds with respect to their respective interests in the Collateral, and

(vii) provide that inasmuch as the policy covers more than one insured, all terms, conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements (except limits of liability) shall operate as if there were a separate policy covering each insured.

ENDORSEMENTS:

(i) specify the Administrative Agent as an additional insured and lender loss payee as its interests may appear, with the understanding that any obligation imposed upon the insured (including the liability to pay premiums) shall be the sole obligation of the applicable Loan Parties and not that of the insured,

(ii) with respect to all property insurance policies, provide that the interest of the Lenders shall be insured regardless of any breach or violation by the applicable Loan Parties of any warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policies or any action or inaction of the applicable Loan Parties or others insured under such policies, except that the insurer shall not be obligated to maintain the insurance if the breach consists of non-payment of premiums which continues for ten (10) days after written notice to Administrative Agent,

(iii) provide a waiver of any right of the insurers to set off or counterclaim or any other deduction, whether by attachment or otherwise,

(iv) provide that any and all rights of subrogation which the insurers may have or acquire against the Loan Parties shall be, at all times and in all respects, junior and subordinate to the prior Payment In Full of the Indebtedness hereunder and that no insurer shall exercise or assert any right of subrogation until such time as the Indebtedness hereunder has been Paid In Full and the Commitments have terminated,

(v) provide that no cancellation of such policies by reason of non-payment of premium shall be effective until at least ten (10) days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such cancellation,

(vi) provide that no cancellation of such policies for any reason (other than non-payment of premium) nor any change therein shall be effective until at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such cancellation or change,

(vii) be primary without right of contribution of any other insurance carried by or on behalf of any additional insureds with respect to their respective interests in the Collateral, and

(viii) provide that inasmuch as the policy covers more than one insured, all terms, conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements (except limits of liability) shall operate as if there were a separate policy covering each insured.

22.4 Any and all defenses any Guarantor may now or hereafter have based on principles of suretyship, impairment of collateral, or the like.

29. SETOFF, DEFAULT PAYMENTS BY BORROWER.

29.1 In the event that at any time any obligation of any of the Guarantors now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty shall have become due and payable, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, shall have the right from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, to set off against and apply to such due and payable amount any obligation of any nature of any Lender or the Administrative Agent, or any subsidiary or Affiliate of any Lender or the Administrative Agent, to any Guarantor, including but not limited to all deposits (whether time or demand, general or special, provisionally credited or finally credited, however evidenced) now or hereafter maintained by any Guarantor with the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any subsidiary or Affiliate thereof. Such right shall be absolute and unconditional in all circumstances and, without limitation, shall exist whether or not the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, shall have given any notice or made any demand under this Guaranty or under such obligation to any Guarantor, whether such obligation to such Guarantor is absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured (it being agreed that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, may deem such obligation to be then due and payable at the time of such setoff), and regardless of the existence or adequacy of any collateral, guaranty, or other direct or indirect security or right or remedy available to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders. The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Section are in addition to such other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff and banker’s lien) which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, may have, and nothing in this Guaranty or in any other Loan Document shall be deemed a waiver of or restriction on the right of setoff or banker’s lien of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them. Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any Affiliate or subsidiary of the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders and any holder of a participation in any Guarantied Obligations or in any other obligation of any Guarantor under this Guaranty, shall have the same rights of setoff as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as provided in this Section (regardless whether such Affiliate or participant otherwise would be deemed a creditor of the Guarantor).

29.2 Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any default under any Guarantied Obligation, if any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor by or for the account of Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Subsidiary of the Borrower, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of each Lender and Administrative Agent and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guarantied Obligations when due and payable.

130

THIS GUARANTY HAS BEEN FULLY NEGOTIATED BETWEEN THE APPLICABLE PARTIES, EACH PARTY HAVING THE BENEFIT OF LEGAL COUNSEL, AND ACCORDINGLY NEITHER ANY DOCTRINE OF CONSTRUCTION OF GUARANTIES OR SURETYSHIPS IN FAVOR OF THE GUARANTOR OR SURETY, NOR ANY DOCTRINE OF CONSTRUCTION OF AMBIGUITIES IN AGREEMENTS OR INSTRUMENTS AGAINST THE PARTY CONTROLLING THE DRAFTING THEREOF, SHALL APPLY TO THIS GUARANTY.

31. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE BINDING UPON EACH GUARANTOR, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AND SHALL INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF AND BE ENFORCEABLE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS, OR ANY OF THEM, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND PERMITTED ASSIGNS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NO GUARANTOR MAY ASSIGN OR TRANSFER ANY OF ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN AND ANY SUCH PURPORTED ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. WITHOUT LIMITATION OF THE FOREGOING, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS, OR ANY OF THEM (AND ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSIVE ASSIGNEES OR TRANSFEREES), FROM TIME TO TIME MAY ASSIGN OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER ALL OR ANY PORTION OF ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING ALL OR ANY PORTION OF ANY COMMITMENT TO EXTEND CREDIT), OR ANY OTHER GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS, TO ANY OTHER PERSON AND SUCH GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS (INCLUDING ANY GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS RESULTING FROM AN EXTENSION OF CREDIT BY SUCH OTHER PERSON UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY LENDER-PROVIDED HEDGE OR ANY LENDER-PROVIDED TREASURY/CREDIT ARRANGEMENT) SHALL BE AND REMAIN GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS ENTITLED TO THE BENEFIT OF THIS GUARANTY, AND TO THE EXTENT OF ITS INTEREST IN SUCH GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS SUCH OTHER PERSON SHALL BE VESTED WITH ALL THE BENEFITS IN RESPECT THEREOF GRANTED TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS IN THIS GUARANTY OR OTHERWISE.

32. GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

32.1 Governing Law. This Guaranty shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the internal Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

131

32.2 Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably:

32.2.1 Submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any Pennsylvania state or federal court sitting in Allegheny County, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Pennsylvania state or federal court. Each Guarantor hereby waives to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. Each Guarantor hereby appoints the process agent identified below (the “Process Agent”) as its agent to receive on behalf of such party and its respective property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any action or proceeding. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the Guarantor in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s address, and each Guarantor hereby authorizes and directs the Process Agent to receive such service on its behalf. Each Guarantor agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions (or any political subdivision thereof) by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided at law. Each Guarantor further agrees that it shall, for so long as any commitment or any obligation of any Loan Party to any Lender remains outstanding, continue to retain Process Agent for the purposes set forth in this Section 14. The Process Agent is the Borrower, with an office on the date hereof as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Process Agent hereby accepts the appointment of Process Agent by the Guarantors and agrees to act as Process Agent on behalf of the Guarantors;

32.2.2 Waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted against it as provided herein and agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue; and

32.2.3 WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS GUARANTY, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

33. SEVERABILITY; MODIFICATION TO CONFORM TO LAW.

33.1 It is the intention of the parties that this Guaranty be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under applicable Law, but that the unenforceability (or modification to conform to such Law) of any provision or provisions hereof shall not render unenforceable, or impair, the remainder hereof. If any provision in this Guaranty shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, this Guaranty shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed amended to modify or delete, as necessary, the offending provision or provisions and to alter the bounds thereof in order to render it or them valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision or provisions in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.

132

33.2 Without limitation of the preceding subsection (a), to the extent that applicable Law (including applicable Laws pertaining to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent or preferential transfer) otherwise would render the full amount of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder invalid, voidable, or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Guarantor’s aggregate liability under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, the aggregate amount of such Guarantor’s liability shall, without any further action by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders or such Guarantor or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding, which (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) may be an amount which is equal to the greater of:

33.2.1 the fair consideration actually received by such Guarantor under the terms and as a result of the Loan Documents, and any Lender-Provided Hedge and any Lender-Provided Treasury/Credit Arrangement, and the value of the benefits described in this Section 15 (b) hereof, including (and to the extent not inconsistent with applicable federal and state Laws affecting the enforceability of guaranties) distributions, commitments, and advances made to or for the benefit of such Guarantor with the proceeds of any credit extended under the Loan Documents and any Lender-Provided Hedge and any Lender-Provided Treasury/Credit Arrangement, or

33.2.2 the excess of (A) the amount of the fair value of the assets of such Guarantor as of the date of this Guaranty as determined in accordance with applicable federal and state Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors as in effect on the date hereof, over (B) the amount of all liabilities of such Guarantor as of the date of this Guaranty, also as determined on the basis of applicable federal and state Laws governing the insolvency of debtors as in effect on the date hereof.

33.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or elsewhere in this Guaranty, this Guaranty shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to its full extent in accordance with its terms, as if this Section (and references elsewhere in this Guaranty to enforceability to the fullest extent permitted by Law) were not a part of this Guaranty, and in any related litigation the burden of proof shall be on the party asserting the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof or asserting any limitation on any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as to each element of such assertion.

34. ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS. AT ANY TIME AFTER THE INITIAL EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS GUARANTY TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS, ADDITIONAL PERSONS MAY BECOME PARTIES TO THIS GUARANTY AND THEREBY ACQUIRE THE DUTIES AND RIGHTS OF BEING A GUARANTOR HEREUNDER BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS A GUARANTOR JOINDER PURSUANT TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. NO NOTICE OF THE ADDITION OF ANY GUARANTOR SHALL BE REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN TO ANY PRE-EXISTING GUARANTOR AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY CONSENTS THERETO.

35. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. THE OBLIGATIONS AND ADDITIONAL LIABILITIES OF THE GUARANTORS UNDER THIS GUARANTY ARE

133

JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS, AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY DEFENSE IT MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO THE PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE OF THE GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS THAT ITS LIABILITY HEREUNDER IS LIMITED AND NOT JOINT AND SEVERAL. EACH GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND THOSE SET FORTH BELOW SERVE AS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO THE AGREEMENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS TO MAKE THE LOANS, AND THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS ARE RELYING ON EACH SPECIFIC WAIVER AND ALL SUCH WAIVERS IN ENTERING INTO THIS GUARANTY. THE UNDERTAKINGS OF EACH GUARANTOR HEREUNDER SECURE THE OBLIGATIONS OF ITSELF AND THE OTHER GUARANTORS. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS, OR ANY OF THEM, MAY, IN THEIR SOLE DISCRETION, ELECT TO ENFORCE THIS GUARANTY AGAINST ANY GUARANTOR WITHOUT ANY DUTY OR RESPONSIBILITY TO PURSUE THE BORROWER, ANY OTHER GUARANTOR OR ANY OTHER PERSON, AND SUCH AN ELECTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS, OR ANY OF THEM, SHALL NOT BE A DEFENSE TO ANY ACTION THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS, OR ANY OF THEM, MAY ELECT TO TAKE AGAINST ANY GUARANTOR. EACH OF THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREBY RESERVES ALL RIGHTS AGAINST EACH GUARANTOR.

36. RECEIPT OF CREDIT AGREEMENT, OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, BENEFITS.

36.1 Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any Lender-Provided Hedge and any Lender-Provided Treasury/Credit Arrangement, and each Guarantor certifies that the representations and warranties made therein with respect to such Guarantor are true and correct. Further, each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees to perform, comply with, and be bound by all of the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

36.2 Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges, represents, and warrants that it receives direct and indirect benefits by virtue of its affiliation with Borrower and the other Guarantors and that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Credit Agreement and that such benefits, together with the rights of contribution and subrogation that may arise in connection herewith are a reasonably equivalent exchange of value in return for providing this Guaranty.

37. MISCELLANEOUS.

37.1 Amendments, Waivers. No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless in a writing manually signed by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No delay or failure of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any of them, in exercising any right or remedy under this Guaranty shall operate as a

134

waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Guaranty are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies available hereunder, under any other agreement or instrument, by Law, or otherwise.

37.2 Telecommunications. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any individual making any telecopy, electronic or telephonic notice, request, or signature without the necessity of receipt of any verification thereof.

37.3 Expenses. Each Guarantor unconditionally agrees to pay all costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor and each Guarantor shall pay and indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for, and hold it harmless from and against, any and all obligations, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including disbursements and reasonable legal fees of counsel to any Lender or the Administrative Agent), penalties, judgments, suits, actions, claims, and disbursements imposed on, asserted against, or incurred by any Lender or the Administrative Agent:

37.3.1 relating to the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement of or collection under this Guaranty or any document, instrument, or agreement relating to any of the Obligations, including in any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceeding in any jurisdiction or political subdivision thereof;

37.3.2 relating to any amendment, modification, waiver, or consent hereunder or relating to any telecopy or telephonic transmission purporting to be by any Guarantor or the Borrower; and

37.3.3 in any way relating to or arising out of this Guaranty, or any document, instrument, or agreement relating to any of the Guarantied Obligations, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder, and including those arising directly or indirectly from the violation or asserted violation by any Guarantor or the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any Law, rule, regulation, judgment, order, or the like of any jurisdiction or political subdivision thereof (including those relating to environmental protection, health, labor, importing, exporting, or safety) and regardless whether asserted by any governmental entity or any other Person.

37.4 Prior Understandings. This Guaranty and the Credit Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all other prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements.

37.5 Survival. All representations and warranties of the Guarantors made in connection with this Guaranty shall survive, and shall not be waived by, the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, any investigation by or knowledge of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, any extension of credit, or any other event or circumstance whatsoever.

135

37.6 Amendment and Restatement; No Novation. The Existing Guaranty Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as provided herein, and this Guaranty is not intended to constitute, nor does it constitute, an interruption, suspension of continuity, satisfaction, discharge of prior duties, novation, or termination of the liens, security interests, indebtedness, loans, liabilities, expenses, or obligations under the Credit Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement or the Existing Guaranty Agreement. Each Guarantor and the Administrative Agent acknowledge and agree that the Existing Guaranty Agreement has continued to guaranty the indebtedness, loans, liabilities, expenses, and obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Existing Credit Agreement since the date of execution of the Existing Guaranty Agreement; and that this Guaranty is entitled to all rights and benefits originally pertaining to the Existing Guaranty Agreement.

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT is dated as of March 27, 2013 and is made by and among KOPPERS INC., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Borrower”), EACH OF THE PERSONS LISTED ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES HERETO AND EACH OF THE OTHER PERSONS WHICH BECOMES A GUARANTOR UNDER THE CREDIT AGREEMENT (EACH AS DEINFED BELOW) OR IS OTHERWISE REQUIRED TO BE A PARTY HEREUNDER PURSUANT TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT HEREUNDER FROM TIME TO TIME (the Borrower, each other Person and each Guarantor being individually referred to herein as a “Company” and collectively as the “Companies”), and PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders (defined below).

WITNESSETH THAT:

WHEREAS, reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated Intercompany Subordination Agreement, dated as of October 31, 2008, made by the Companies (as defined therein) party thereto and the Administrative Agent, as heretofore amended (as so amended, the “Existing Intercompany Subordination Agreement”), executed and delivered pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated October 31, 2008, among the Borrower, the Guarantors (as defined therein) party thereto, the Lenders (as defined therein) party thereto, and the Administrative Agent, as heretofore amended (as so amended, the “Existing Credit Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to further amend and restate the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as it may hereafter from time to time be further restated, amended, modified or supplemented, the “Credit Agreement”) of even date herewith by and among the Borrower, the Guarantors (as defined therein) from time to time party thereto (the “Guarantors”), the Lenders (as defined therein) from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and the Administrative Agent; each capitalized term used herein shall, unless otherwise defined herein, have the meaning specified in the Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to make certain loans and other financial accommodations to the Borrower; and

WHEREAS, the Companies have or, in the future, may have liabilities, obligations or indebtedness owed to each other (the liabilities, obligations and indebtedness of each of the Companies to any other Company, now existing or hereafter incurred (whether created directly or acquired by assignment or otherwise), and interest and premiums, if any, thereon and other amounts payable in respect thereof and all other obligations and other amounts payable by any Company to any other Company are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Intercompany Indebtedness”); and

140

WHEREAS, the obligation of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to make loans under the Credit Agreement is subject to the conditions, among others, that the Companies amend and restate the Existing Intercompany Subordination Agreement and subordinate the Intercompany Indebtedness to the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Company to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any Lender-Provided Hedge and any Lender-Provided Treasury/Credit Arrangement (collectively, the “Senior Debt”) in the manner set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:

38. INTERCOMPANY INDEBTEDNESS SUBORDINATED TO SENIOR DEBT. THE RECITALS SET FORTH ABOVE ARE HEREBY INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE. ALL INTERCOMPANY INDEBTEDNESS SHALL BE SUBORDINATE AND SUBJECT IN RIGHT OF PAYMENT UNTIL RECEIPT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS OF PAYMENT IN FULL.

39. PAYMENT OVER OF PROCEEDS UPON DISSOLUTION, ETC. UPON ANY DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS OF ANY COMPANY IN THE EVENT OF (A) ANY INSOLVENCY OR BANKRUPTCY CASE OR PROCEEDING, OR ANY RECEIVERSHIP, LIQUIDATION, REORGANIZATION OR OTHER SIMILAR CASE OR PROCEEDING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, RELATIVE TO ANY COMPANY OR TO ITS CREDITORS, AS SUCH, OR TO ITS ASSETS, OR (B) ANY LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR OTHER WINDING UP OF ANY COMPANY, WHETHER VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY AND WHETHER OR NOT INVOLVING INSOLVENCY OR BANKRUPTCY, OR (C) ANY ASSIGNMENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF CREDITORS OR ANY MARSHALLING OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF ANY COMPANY (A COMPANY DISTRIBUTING ASSETS AS SET FORTH HEREIN BEING REFERRED TO IN SUCH CAPACITY AS A “DISTRIBUTING COMPANY”), THEN AND IN ANY SUCH EVENT, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS AS THEIR RESPECTIVE INTERESTS MAY APPEAR, PAYMENT IN FULL OF ALL AMOUNTS DUE OR TO BECOME DUE (WHETHER OR NOT AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE SENIOR DEBT HAS BEEN DECLARED DUE AND PAYABLE PRIOR TO THE DATE ON WHICH IT WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE) ON OR IN RESPECT OF ANY AND ALL SENIOR DEBT BEFORE THE HOLDER OF ANY INTERCOMPANY INDEBTEDNESS OWED BY THE DISTRIBUTING COMPANY IS ENTITLED TO RECEIVE ANY PAYMENT ON ACCOUNT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF OR INTEREST ON SUCH INTERCOMPANY INDEBTEDNESS, AND TO THAT END, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE, FOR APPLICATION TO THE PAYMENT OF THE SENIOR DEBT, ANY PAYMENT OR DISTRIBUTION OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, WHETHER IN CASH, PROPERTY OR SECURITIES,

141

WHICH MAY BE PAYABLE OR DELIVERABLE IN RESPECT OF THE INTERCOMPANY INDEBTEDNESS OWED BY THE DISTRIBUTING COMPANY IN ANY SUCH CASE, PROCEEDING, DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION OR OTHER WINDING UP EVENT.

40. NO COMMENCEMENT OF ANY PROCEEDING. EACH COMPANY AGREES THAT, SO LONG AS THE SENIOR DEBT SHALL REMAIN UNPAID, IT WILL NOT COMMENCE, OR JOIN WITH ANY CREDITOR OTHER THAN THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN COMMENCING, ANY PROCEEDING REFERRED TO IN THE FIRST PARAGRAPH OF SECTION 2 AGAINST ANY OTHER COMPANY THAT OWES IT ANY INTERCOMPANY INDEBTEDNESS.

41. PRIOR PAYMENT OF SENIOR DEBT UPON ACCELERATION OF INTERCOMPANY INDEBTEDNESS. IF ANY PORTION OF THE INTERCOMPANY INDEBTEDNESS OWED BY ANY COMPANY BECOMES OR IS DECLARED DUE AND PAYABLE BEFORE ITS STATED MATURITY, THEN AND IN SUCH EVENT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE PAYMENT IN FULL OF ALL AMOUNTS DUE AND TO BECOME DUE ON OR IN RESPECT OF THE SENIOR DEBT (WHETHER OR NOT AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED UNDER THE TERMS OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE SENIOR DEBT HAS BEEN DECLARED DUE AND PAYABLE PRIOR TO THE DATE ON WHICH IT WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE) BEFORE THE HOLDER OF ANY SUCH INTERCOMPANY INDEBTEDNESS IS ENTITLED TO RECEIVE ANY PAYMENT THEREON.

42. NO PAYMENT WHEN SENIOR DEBT IN DEFAULT. IF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT OR POTENTIAL SHALL HAVE OCCURRED AND BE CONTINUING, OR SUCH AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OR POTENTIAL DEFAULT WOULD RESULT FROM OR EXIST AFTER GIVING EFFECT TO A PAYMENT WITH RESPECT TO ANY PORTION OF THE INTERCOMPANY INDEBTEDNESS, UNLESS THE REQUIRED LENDERS SHALL HAVE CONSENTED TO OR WAIVED THE SAME, SO LONG AS ANY OF THE SENIOR DEBT SHALL REMAIN OUTSTANDING, NO PAYMENT SHALL BE MADE BY ANY COMPANY OWING SUCH INTERCOMPANY INDEBTEDNESS ON ACCOUNT OF PRINCIPAL OR INTEREST ON ANY PORTION OF THE INTERCOMPANY INDEBTEDNESS.

43. PAYMENT PERMITTED IF NO DEFAULT. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PREVENT ANY OF THE COMPANIES, AT ANY TIME EXCEPT DURING THE PENDENCY OF ANY OF THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED IN SECTIONS 2, 4 AND 5, FROM MAKING REGULARLY SCHEDULED PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL OF OR INTEREST ON ANY PORTION OF THE INTERCOMPANY INDEBTEDNESS, OR THE RETENTION THEREOF BY ANY OF THE COMPANIES OF ANY MONEY DEPOSITED WITH IT FOR THE PAYMENT OF OR ON ACCOUNT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF OR INTEREST ON THE INTERCOMPANY INDEBTEDNESS.

44. RECEIPT OF PROHIBITED PAYMENTS. IF, NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 2, 4, 5 AND 6, A COMPANY THAT IS OWED INTERCOMPANY INDEBTEDNESS BY A DISTRIBUTING COMPANY SHALL HAVE

142

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING AND ONLY WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACTS AND LICENSES WHICH EXIST ON THE CLOSING DATE, IF THE FOREGOING GRANT OF A SECURITY INTEREST IN FAVOR OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WOULD CAUSE SUCH CONTRACTS AND LICENSES TO BE VOID PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF SUCH CONTRACTS AND LICENSES (SUBJECT TO ANY LIMITATIONS IN ARTICLE 9 OF THE CODE WITH RESPECT TO THE EFFECT OF SUCH RESTRICTIONS ON THE COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT OF SUCH CONTRACTS AND LICENSES), THEN THE GRANT OF A SECURITY INTEREST IN SUCH CONTRACTS AND LICENSES SHALL BE POSTPONED TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH RESTRICTIONS ON COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE GRANT OF THE SECURITY INTEREST WOULD NOT CAUSE SUCH CONTRACTS AND LICENSES TO BE VOID.

68. EACH PLEDGOR JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS, AND COVENANTS THAT:

68.1 the Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights are subsisting and have not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part;

161

68.4 such Pledgor has the corporate, limited liability company or partnership power and authority, as applicable, to enter into this Agreement and perform its terms;

THE UNDERTAKINGS OF EACH PLEDGOR HEREUNDER SECURE THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE BORROWER, ITSELF AND THE OTHER PLEDGORS. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS, OR ANY OF THEM, MAY, IN THEIR SOLE DISCRETION, ELECT TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST ANY PLEDGOR WITHOUT ANY DUTY OR RESPONSIBILITY TO PURSUE ANY OTHER PLEDGOR AND SUCH AN ELECTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS, OR ANY OF THEM, SHALL NOT BE A DEFENSE TO ANY ACTION THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS, OR ANY OF THEM, MAY ELECT TO TAKE AGAINST ANY PLEDGOR.

73. IF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT SHALL HAVE OCCURRED AND BE CONTINUING, EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO MAKE, CONSTITUTE AND APPOINT ANY OFFICER OR AGENT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY SELECT IN ITS EXCLUSIVE DISCRETION, AS SUCH PLEDGOR’S TRUE AND LAWFUL ATTORNEY-IN-FACT, WITH THE POWER TO ENDORSE SUCH PLEDGOR’S NAME ON ALL APPLICATIONS, DOCUMENTS, PAPERS AND INSTRUMENTS NECESSARY FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO USE THE PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS, OR TO GRANT OR ISSUE, ON COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE TERMS, ANY EXCLUSIVE OR NONEXCLUSIVE LICENSE UNDER THE PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS TO ANY THIRD PERSON, OR NECESSARY FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ASSIGN, PLEDGE, CONVEY OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER TITLE IN OR DISPOSE, ON COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE TERMS, OF THE PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS TO ANY THIRD PERSON.

79. ALL OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO THE PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS, WHETHER ESTABLISHED HEREBY OR BY THE CREDIT AGREEMENT OR BY ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS OR BY LAW, SHALL BE CUMULATIVE AND NOT EXCLUSIVE OF ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WHICH IT MAY OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, UNDER ANY LENDER-PROVIDED HEDGE OR UNDER ANY LENDER-PROVIDED TREASURY/CREDIT ARRANGEMENT, OR BY LAW, AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT MAY ENFORCE ANY ONE OR MORE REMEDIES HEREUNDER SUCCESSIVELY OR CONCURRENTLY AT ITS OPTION.

IF ANY PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE HELD INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN ANY JURISDICTION, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, AS TO SUCH JURISDICTION, BE DEEMED AMENDED TO MODIFY OR DELETE, AS NECESSARY, THE OFFENDING PROVISION OR PROVISIONS AND TO ALTER THE BOUNDS THEREOF IN ORDER TO RENDER IT OR THEM VALID AND ENFORCEABLE TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WITHOUT IN ANY MANNER AFFECTING THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF SUCH PROVISION OR PROVISIONS IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION OR THE REMAINING PROVISIONS HEREOF IN ANY JURISDICTION WITHOUT INVALIDATING THE REMAINING PROVISIONS HEREOF.

(b) Without limitation of the preceding Subsection (a), to the extent that applicable Law (including applicable Laws pertaining to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent or

166

preferential transfer) otherwise would render the full amount of any Pledgor’s obligations hereunder invalid, voidable, or unenforceable on account of the amount of a Pledgor’s aggregate liability under this Agreement, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the aggregate amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders or such Pledgor or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding, which (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) may be an amount which is equal to the greater of:

80.1.1 the fair consideration actually received by such Pledgor under the terms and as a result of the Loan Documents, and any Lender-Provided Hedge and any Lender-Provided Treasury/Credit Arrangement, and the value of the benefits described in Section 25 hereof, including (and to the extent not inconsistent with applicable federal and state laws affecting the enforceability of guaranties) distributions, commitments, and advances made to or for the benefit of such Pledgor with the proceeds of any credit extended under the Loan Documents or any Lender-Provided Hedge or any Lender-Provided Treasury/Credit Arrangement, or

80.1.2 the excess of (1) the amount of the fair value of the assets of such Pledgor as of the date of this Agreement as determined in accordance with applicable federal and state laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors as in effect on the date hereof, over (2) the amount of all liabilities of such Pledgor as of the date of this Agreement, also as determined on the basis of applicable federal and state laws governing the insolvency of debtors as in effect on the date hereof.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section or elsewhere in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to its full extent in accordance with its terms, as if this Section (and references elsewhere in this Agreement to enforceability to the fullest extent permitted by Law) were not a part of this Agreement, and in any related litigation, the burden of proof shall be on the party asserting the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof or asserting any limitation on any Pledgor’s obligations hereunder as to each element of such assertion.

81. THIS AGREEMENT SUPERSEDES ALL PRIOR UNDERSTANDINGS AND AGREEMENTS, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO RELATING TO A GRANT OF A SECURITY INTEREST IN THE PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS BY ANY PLEDGOR. THIS AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO WAIVER, MODIFICATION, SUPPLEMENT OR AMENDMENT ONLY BY A WRITING SIGNED BY THE PARTIES, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 6 AND SECTION 26 HEREOF WITH RESPECT TO ADDITIONS AND SUPPLEMENTS TO SCHEDULE A HERETO.

82. EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5.9 [TAXES] OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND SHALL MAKE ALL PAYMENTS FREE AND CLEAR OF TAXES AS PROVIDED THEREIN.

84.

EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING. EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY APPOINTS THE PROCESS AGENT IDENTIFIED BELOW (THE “PROCESS AGENT”) AS ITS AGENT TO RECEIVE ON BEHALF OF SUCH PARTY AND ITS RESPECTIVE PROPERTY SERVICE OF COPIES OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT AND ANY OTHER PROCESS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING. SUCH SERVICE MAY BE MADE BY MAILING OR DELIVERING A COPY OF SUCH PROCESS TO ANY OF THE PLEDGOR IN CARE OF THE PROCESS AGENT AT THE PROCESS AGENT’S ADDRESS, AND EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY AUTHORIZES AND DIRECTS THE PROCESS AGENT TO RECEIVE SUCH SERVICE ON ITS BEHALF. EACH PLEDGOR AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS (OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF) BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED AT LAW. EACH PLEDGOR FURTHER AGREES THAT IT SHALL, FOR SO LONG AS ANY COMMITMENT OR ANY OBLIGATION OF ANY LOAN PARTY TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER REMAINS OUTSTANDING, CONTINUE TO RETAIN PROCESS AGENT FOR THE PURPOSES SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 20.

THE PROCESS AGENT HEREBY ACCEPTS THE APPOINTMENT OF PROCESS AGENT BY THE PLEDGORS AND AGREES TO ACT AS PROCESS AGENT ON BEHALF OF THE PLEDGORS.

86. THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED BY DIFFERENT PARTIES HERETO ON ANY NUMBER OF SEPARATE COUNTERPARTS, EACH OF WHICH,

168

WHEN SO EXECUTED AND DELIVERED, SHALL BE DEEMED AN ORIGINAL, AND ALL SUCH COUNTERPARTS SHALL TOGETHER CONSTITUTE ONE AND THE SAME INSTRUMENT. EACH PLEDGOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT A TELECOPY OR ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF THE SIGNATURE PAGE HEREOF PURPORTING TO BE SIGNED ON BEHALF OF SUCH PLEDGOR SHALL CONSTITUTE EFFECTIVE AND BINDING EXECUTION AND DELIVERY HEREOF BY SUCH PLEDGOR.

87. EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

88. ALL NOTICES, STATEMENTS, REQUESTS, DEMANDS, DIRECTIONS AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS (COLLECTIVELY, “NOTICES”) GIVEN TO OR MADE UPON ANY PARTY HERETO UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GIVEN TO THE APPLICABLE PARTY HERETO AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH ON A SCHEDULE 1.1(B) TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN SECTION 11.5 [NOTICES; EFFECTIVENESS; ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION] OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.

89. EACH PLEDGOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER RIGHTS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER AND UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, BECAUSE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S REMEDIES AT LAW FOR FAILURE OF SUCH PLEDGOR TO COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS HEREOF RELATING TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RIGHTS (I) TO INSPECT THE BOOKS AND RECORDS RELATED TO THE PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS, (II) TO RECEIVE THE VARIOUS NOTIFICATIONS SUCH PLEDGOR IS REQUIRED TO DELIVER HEREUNDER, (III) TO OBTAIN COPIES OF AGREEMENTS AND DOCUMENTS AS PROVIDED HEREIN WITH RESPECT TO THE PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND COPYRIGHTS, (IV) TO ENFORCE THE PROVISIONS HEREOF PURSUANT TO WHICH SUCH PLEDGOR HAS APPOINTED THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ITS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT, AND (V) TO ENFORCE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S REMEDIES HEREUNDER, WOULD BE INADEQUATE AND THAT ANY SUCH FAILURE WOULD NOT BE ADEQUATELY COMPENSABLE IN DAMAGES, SUCH PLEDGOR AGREES THAT EACH SUCH PROVISION HEREOF MAY BE SPECIFICALLY ENFORCED.

169

WILL RECEIVE DIRECT AND INDIRECT BENEFITS FROM THE FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS CONTEMPLATED BY THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND THAT SUCH BENEFITS, TOGETHER WITH THE RIGHTS OF CONTRIBUTION AND SUBROGATION THAT MAY ARISE IN CONNECTION HEREWITH ARE A REASONABLY EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE OF VALUE IN RETURN FOR PROVIDING THIS AGREEMENT.

NO NOTICE OF THE ADDITION OF ANY PLEDGOR SHALL BE REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN TO ANY PRE-EXISTING PLEDGOR AND EACH PLEDGOR HEREBY CONSENTS THERETO.

102. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.

No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any further exercise

184

thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver of a single Event of Default shall be deemed a waiver of a subsequent Event of Default. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided under the other Loan Documents or by Law and the Administrative Agent may enforce any one or more remedies hereunder successively or concurrently at its option. Each Pledgor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent to proceed against any other Person or to exhaust any of the Pledged Collateral or other security for the Secured Obligations or to pursue any remedy in the Administrative Agent’s power.

187

Each Pledgor and each of the Companies hereby waives to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding. Each Pledgor and each of the Companies hereby appoints the process agent identified below (the “Process Agent”) as its agent to receive on behalf of such party and its respective property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any action or proceeding. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to any of the Pledgors or the Companies in care of the Process Agent at the Process Agent’s address, and each Pledgor and each Company hereby authorizes and directs the Process Agent to receive such service on its behalf. Each Pledgor and each of the Companies agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions (or any political subdivision thereof) by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided at law. Each Pledgor further agrees that it shall, for so long as any Commitment or any Obligation of any Loan Party to any Lender or the Administrative Agent remains outstanding, continue to retain Process Agent for the purposes set forth in this Section 21. The Process Agent is the Borrower, with an office on the date hereof as set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Process Agent hereby accepts the appointment of Process Agent by the Pledgors and the Companies and agrees to act as Process Agent on behalf of the Pledgors and the Companies.

116. COUNTERPARTS; TELECOPY SIGNATURES.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that a telecopy transmission to the Administrative Agent or any Lender of the signature pages hereof purporting to be signed on behalf of any Pledgor shall constitute effective and binding execution and delivery hereof by such Pledgor.

117. CONSTRUCTION.

118. AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT; NO NOVATION.

(b) At any time and from time to time after an Event of Default exists and is continuing and without prior notice to or consent of any Debtor, the Administrative Agent may at its option take such action as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate (i) to maintain, repair, protect and insure the Collateral, and/or (ii) to perform, keep, observe and render true and correct any and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Debtors hereunder, and

205

(iii) to add all liabilities, obligations, costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) to the Secured Obligations, to be paid by the Debtors to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders within ten (10) days after demand.

128. AFTER THERE EXISTS ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT UNDER THE CREDIT AGREEMENT:

128.1 The Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise all the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the Code in effect at the time, and such other rights and remedies as may be provided by Law and as set forth below, including, without limitation, to take over and collect all of any Debtor’s Receivables and all other Collateral, and to this end each Debtor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent, its officers, employees and agents, as its irrevocable, true and lawful attorneys-in-fact with all necessary power and authority to (i) take possession immediately, with or without notice, demand, or legal process, of any of or all of the Collateral wherever found, and for such purposes, enter upon any premises upon which the Collateral may be found and remove the Collateral therefrom, (ii) require any Debtor to assemble the Collateral and deliver it to the Administrative Agent or to any place designated by the Administrative Agent at the Debtors’ expense, (iii) receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to any Debtor and notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery thereof to such address as the Administrative Agent may designate, (iv) demand payment of the Receivables, (v) enforce payment of the Receivables by legal proceedings or otherwise, (vi) exercise all of any Debtor’s rights and remedies with respect to the collection of the Receivables, (vii) settle, adjust, compromise, extend or renew the Receivables, (viii) settle, adjust or compromise any legal proceedings brought to collect the Receivables, (ix) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, sell or assign the Receivables upon such terms, for such amounts and at such time or times as the Administrative Agent deems advisable, (x) discharge and release the Receivables, (xi) take control, in any manner, of any item of payment or Proceeds from any account debtor, (xii) prepare, file and sign any Debtor’s name on any proof of claim in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding or similar document against any account debtor, (xiii) prepare, file and sign any Debtor’s name on any notice of Lien, assignment or satisfaction of Lien or similar document in connection with the Receivables, (xiv) do all acts and things necessary, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to fulfill each the Borrower’s, or any Guarantor’s or any Debtor’s obligations to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, Loan Documents or otherwise, (xv) endorse the name of any Debtor upon any check, Chattel Paper, Document, Instrument, invoice, freight xxxx, xxxx of lading or similar document or agreement relating to the Receivables or Inventory, (xvi) use any Debtor’s stationery and sign such Debtor’s name to verifications of the Receivables and notices thereof to account debtors, (xvii) access and use the information recorded on or contained in any data processing equipment or computer hardware or software relating to the Receivables, Inventory, or other Collateral or proceeds thereof to which any Debtor has access, (xviii) demand, xxx for, collect, compromise and give acquittances for any and all Collateral, (xix) prosecute, defend or compromise any action, claim or proceeding with respect to any of the Collateral, and (xx) take such other action as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate, including extending or modifying the terms of payment of any Debtor’s debtors. This power of attorney, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable for the life of this Agreement. To the extent permitted by Law, each Debtor hereby waives all claims of damages due to or arising from or connected with

206

any of the rights or remedies exercised by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement, except claims for physical damage to the Collateral arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Administrative Agent.

128.2 The Administrative Agent shall have the right to lease, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any of the Collateral at public or private sale or sales for cash, credit or any combination thereof, with such notice as may be required by Law (it being agreed by the Debtors that, in the absence of any contrary requirement of Law, ten (10) days’ prior notice of a public or private sale of Collateral shall be deemed reasonable notice), in lots or in bulk, for cash or on credit, all as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem advisable. Such sales may be adjourned from time to time with or without notice. The Administrative Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on any Debtor’s premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use any Debtor’s premises without charge for such sales for such time or times as the Administrative Agent may see fit. The Administrative Agent may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by Law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such price against the Secured Obligations.

128.3 Each Debtor, at its cost and expense (including the cost and expense of any of the following referenced consents, approvals, etc.), will promptly execute and deliver or cause the execution and delivery of all applications, certificates, instruments, registration statements, and all other documents and papers the Administrative Agent may request in connection with the obtaining of any consent, approval, registration, qualification, permit, license, accreditation, or authorization of any other Official Body or other Person necessary or appropriate for the effective exercise of any rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor agrees that in the event the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and/or the Lenders shall exercise its rights hereunder or pursuant to the other Loan Documents, to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, or vote, consent, operate, or take any other action in connection with any of the Collateral, each Debtor shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) all applications, certificates, assignments and other documents that the Administrative Agent requests to facilitate such actions and shall otherwise promptly, fully, and diligently cooperate with the Administrative Agent and any other Persons in making any application for the prior consent or approval of any Official Body or any other Person to the exercise by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and/or the Lenders or any such rights relating to all or any of the Collateral. Furthermore, because each Debtor agrees that the remedies at law, of the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and/or the Lenders, for failure of such Debtor to comply with this subsection (c) would be inadequate, and that any such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, each Debtor agrees that this Subsection (c) may be specifically enforced.

128.4 The Administrative Agent may request, without limiting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the Lenders otherwise provided hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, that each Debtor do any of the following: (i) give the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the Lenders specific assignments of the accounts receivable of the Debtors after such accounts receivable come into existence, and schedules of such accounts receivable, the form and content of such assignment and schedules to be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, and (ii) in order to better secure the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the Lenders, to the extent permitted by Law, enter

207

into such lockbox agreements and establish such lockbox accounts as the Administrative Agent may require, all at the sole expense of the Debtors and shall direct all payments from all payors due to each Debtor, to such lockbox accounts.

129. THE LIEN ON AND SECURITY INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL GRANTED TO AND CREATED IN FAVOR OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT BY THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS AND ANY PROVIDER OF ANY LENDER-PROVIDED HEDGE OR ANY LENDER-PROVIDED TREASURY/CREDIT ARRANGEMENT. EACH OF THE RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES, AND REMEDIES PROVIDED TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER OR OTHERWISE BY LAW WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL SHALL BE EXERCISED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ONLY FOR ITS OWN BENEFIT AND THE BENEFIT OF THE LENDERS AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF ANY PROVIDER OF ANY LENDER-PROVIDED HEDGE OR ANY LENDER-PROVIDED TREASURY/CREDIT ARRANGEMENT, AND ANY OF THE COLLATERAL OR PROCEEDS THEREOF HELD OR REALIZED UPON AT ANY TIME BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE APPLIED AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.2.4 [APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS] OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT. EACH DEBTOR SHALL REMAIN LIABLE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS AND ANY PROVIDER OF ANY LENDER-PROVIDED HEDGE OR ANY LENDER-PROVIDED TREASURY/CREDIT ARRANGEMENT FOR AND SHALL PAY TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF ITSELF AND THE LENDERS AND ANY PROVIDER OF ANY LENDER-PROVIDED HEDGE OR ANY LENDER-PROVIDED TREASURY/CREDIT ARRANGEMENT ANY DEFICIENCY WHICH MAY REMAIN AFTER SUCH SALE OR COLLECTION.

130. IF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT REPOSSESSES OR SEEKS TO REPOSSESS ANY OF THE COLLATERAL PURSUANT TO THE TERMS HEREOF BECAUSE OF THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, THEN TO THE EXTENT IT IS COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO STORE ANY COLLATERAL ON ANY PREMISES OF ANY DEBTOR, SUCH DEBTOR HEREBY AGREES TO LEASE TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ON A MONTH-TO-MONTH TENANCY FOR A PERIOD NOT TO EXCEED ONE HUNDRED TWENTY (120) DAYS AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S ELECTION, AT A RENTAL RATE EQUAL TO ONE DOLLAR ($1.00) PER MONTH (IF SUCH DEBTOR OWNS THE PREMISES), AND AT THE CURRENT RENTAL RATE PER MONTH (IF SUCH DEBTOR LEASES THE PREMISES), THE PREMISES ON WHICH THE COLLATERAL IS LOCATED; PROVIDED IT IS LOCATED ON PREMISES OWNED OR LEASED BY SUCH DEBTOR.

131. UPON PAYMENT IN FULL OF THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS, THE EXPIRATION OF ALL COMMITMENTS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT, AND TERMINATION OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL TERMINATE AND BE OF NO FURTHER FORCE AND EFFECT, AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL THEREUPON PROMPTLY RETURN TO EACH DEBTOR SUCH OF THE COLLATERAL AND SUCH OTHER DOCUMENTS DELIVERED BY SUCH DEBTOR OR OBTAINED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER AS MAY THEN BE IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S POSSESSION, SUBJECT TO

208

THE RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES. UNTIL SUCH TIME, HOWEVER, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BINDING UPON AND INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND PERMITTED ASSIGNS.

132. NO FAILURE OR DELAY ON THE PART OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN EXERCISING ANY RIGHT, REMEDY, POWER OR PRIVILEGE HEREUNDER SHALL OPERATE AS A WAIVER THEREOF OR OF ANY OTHER RIGHT, REMEDY, POWER OR PRIVILEGE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER; NOR SHALL ANY SINGLE OR PARTIAL EXERCISE OF ANY SUCH RIGHT, REMEDY, POWER OR PRIVILEGE PRECLUDE ANY OTHER OR FURTHER EXERCISE THEREOF OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY OTHER RIGHT, REMEDY, POWER OR PRIVILEGE. NO WAIVER OF A SINGLE EVENT OF DEFAULT SHALL BE DEEMED A WAIVER OF A SUBSEQUENT EVENT OF DEFAULT. ALL WAIVERS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE IN WRITING.

135. EACH DEBTOR HEREBY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5.9 [TAXES] OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT AND SHALL MAKE ALL PAYMENTS FREE AND CLEAR OF TAXES AS PROVIDED THEREIN.

136. EACH DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PROVISIONS HEREOF GIVING THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT RIGHTS OF ACCESS TO BOOKS, RECORDS AND INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COLLATERAL AND SUCH DEBTOR’S OPERATIONS AND PROVIDING THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT ACCESS TO SUCH DEBTOR’S PREMISES ARE INTENDED TO AFFORD THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WITH IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO CURRENT INFORMATION CONCERNING SUCH DEBTOR AND ITS ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE VALUE, NATURE AND LOCATION OF THE COLLATERAL SO THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT CAN, AMONG OTHER THINGS, MAKE AN APPROPRIATE DETERMINATION AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, WHETHER AND WHEN TO

209

EXERCISE ITS OTHER REMEDIES HEREUNDER AND AT LAW, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, INSTITUTING A REPLEVIN ACTION SHOULD ANY DEBTOR REFUSE TO TURN OVER ANY COLLATERAL TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. EACH DEBTOR FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SHOULD SUCH DEBTOR AT ANY TIME FAIL TO PROMPTLY PROVIDE SUCH INFORMATION AND ACCESS TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WOULD HAVE NO ADEQUATE REMEDY AT LAW TO PROMPTLY OBTAIN THE SAME. EACH DEBTOR AGREES THAT THE PROVISIONS HEREOF MAY BE SPECIFICALLY ENFORCED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND WAIVES ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HAS AN ADEQUATE REMEDY AT LAW.

137. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BINDING UPON, AND INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, AND EACH DEBTOR AND EACH OF ITS RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, EXCEPT THAT NO DEBTOR MAY NOT ASSIGN OR TRANSFER ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR ANY INTEREST HEREIN.

138. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT UNDER THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF SAID COMMONWEALTH EXCLUDING ITS RULES RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW.
